This piece was inspired by an old water well located outside of the Thomas House Hotel in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee.  The hotel is listed as the second most haunted location in America and advertised as a "Dead and Breakfast".  Tennessee artist, Jason McKeel, is a former corporate vice president.  In 2009, a spinal cord injury left him in a wheelchair and ended his corporate career.

“Days and nights spent in a physical rehab facility were driving me towards madness and the change of pace from traveling to 10 or 15 different cities a month to barely being capable of travel to the next room pushed me to the edge,” he said.

“There I found art. I began painting 15 years ago and soon realized the world looked different from my new perspective, in the wheelchair. As a result, I do my best to show the world from different perspectives in my paintings. It’s a hit and miss proposition but then again, isn’t life?”

He describes himself as a middle-aged man living in Middle Tennessee creating middle-of-the-road pieces of art. Some of that middle-of-the-road art has won awards, and more of it has been sold around the nation and the world. Jason has paintings hanging in museums, a federal court building, and in homes and businesses from coast to coast. Two have even been used as cover art for novels and another is now an album cover.
