And one thing led to another . . . and another . . . and then another.  She&#8217;s up to 30 paintings now.<\/p>\n<p>Whyte found one of the South&#8217;s last funeral bands in Miami. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And they came over one by one and leaned up against a tree and played for me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;How  wonderful is that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She pays her subjects a little for their time<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The oldest member that&#8217;s still living that was in that band in the &#8217;20s, and he&#8217;s I think close to 100 now, I&#8217;m told,&#8221; Whyte said. <\/p>\n<p>Whyte&#8217;s final paintings are watercolor . . . yes, the same kind of paint you sloshed all over drawing paper in second grade, hard to believe. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are often surprised when they walk into my studio, and they say, <em>This is it?<\/em> I mean, it&#8217;s basically a plastic tray with the colors around the edges and you add water to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For a couple of months each year, Mary Whyte leaves her home and studio near Charleston, S.C.  She packs up her art supplies and her radio and moves into an old millworker&#8217;s cottage upstate in the little town of Simpsonville.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s empty, so it means all I have to look at and think about are my paintings,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So, all I do is paint and eat and sleep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Every day, just before noon she goes next door to the home of Doug and Billie Hogg, her landlords. <\/p>\n<p>What she finds is a feast in the making.<\/p>\n<p>Doug Hogg was a supervisor at the local textile mill (like so many others, shut down now).  But the routine remains. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Hogg says grace \u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At noontime, on the dot, every day, you know, millworkers&#8217; time, Mrs. Hogg serves a colossal homemade warm, hot, dinner,&#8221; Whyte said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we say, dig in!&#8221; Mrs. Hogg commands. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s three generations here that meet daily for meals, that all work in the garden, all work to grow the produce in the garden and to raise the bees here,&#8221; Whyte said. <\/p>\n<p>It was because of their bees that Whyte sought them out in the first place, early on in her project. Doug Hogg and his daughter, Jane, don&#8217;t say much as they tend the hives. They don&#8217;t need to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-left embed--size-small\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2019\/11\/07\/b33800a9-f300-49e0-8eea-08bf54c17ce3\/thumbnail\/620x465\/f39c1c3684f3acbc839e95de935d90f2\/the-beekeepers-daughter-mary-whyte-244.jpg#\" alt=\"the-beekeepers-daughter-mary-whyte-244.jpg \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2019\/11\/07\/b33800a9-f300-49e0-8eea-08bf54c17ce3\/thumbnail\/620x465\/f39c1c3684f3acbc839e95de935d90f2\/the-beekeepers-daughter-mary-whyte-244.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2019\/11\/07\/b33800a9-f300-49e0-8eea-08bf54c17ce3\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/a6333695e0161c9bd8e1ab8c48e27a33\/the-beekeepers-daughter-mary-whyte-244.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">&#8220;The Beekeeper&#8217;s Daughter.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Mary Whyte<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jane is captured in Mary Whyte&#8217;s painting, &#8220;The Beekeeper&#8217;s Daughter&#8221;\u00a0<em>(left)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The wearing of the white, the whiteness of these shapes, this smoke and the fact that they smoke and they move slowly, to me is dreamy,&#8221; Whyte said. <\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the Greenville County Museum of Art will exhibit Whyte&#8217;s work. Many of her completed paintings are being stored there now in the frames her husband made by hand. They were hung for us to see. <\/p>\n<p>Whyte showed us her painting of Algie Varn: &#8220;He has spent his entire life crabbing and oystering, and he was kind enough to take me out onto his boat. That day, about one-third 3 of the traps had been poached or vandalized. So I watched this man vacillate that day between anguish, despair and rage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next time she called him, he had gone out of business. <\/p>\n<p>She showed us another painting she&#8217;d started in New Orleans:  &#8220;I wanted to find a shoeshine man. Eventually I found my way to Mr. Noah here, who was in one of the big hotels on Canal Street.<br \/>And he&#8217;s been doing this, shining shoes, since he was five years old.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone I ask, &#8216;So, why do you do this?&#8217; And they say, &#8216;Because it&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve ever known.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Near Bishopville, S.C., Whyte stopped a cotton picker who could only pose for a minute or two, because he had to get back to work. Just down the road, at a diner, she met the subjects of the painting she calls &#8220;Fifteen-Minute Break.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What they do is they clean industrial ovens,&#8221; Whyte explained. &#8220;They&#8217;re tired. This is for them a 16-hour day. That&#8217;s what I found so interesting and meaningful and attractive to do this painting, is that I wanted this absolute weariness of these men.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And in &#8220;The Lovers,&#8221; it was her Berea, Ky., quilter&#8217;s skin that fascinated her. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The skin has this wonderful translucent quality where you can see, particularly as a person ages, and I believe that the hands are truly a person&#8217;s resume of their life,&#8221; Whyte said. <\/p>\n<p>In Mary Whyte&#8217;s hands, the resume of a region is brought to life . . . with a plastic tray, some color and water. <\/p>\n<p><em>The exhibit &#8220;Mary Whyte: Working South&#8221; will open March 2, 2011 and run through October 2, 2011 at the Greenville County Museum of Art in Greenville,
