"Minnie Pearl" Fine Art Prints

About the Work

Part of the Character Sketches series, this portrait offers a warm, whimsical re-imagining of a beloved country-comedy icon. In this scene, Minnie Pearl-inspired charm meets rustic inevitability: a bright, sunny country dress — complete with a playful “$1” price tag — watering a small tomato plant sprouting vintage coupons. Chickens graze gently and a hand-made wreath crowns the scene, and overhead an old tin sign reads “Bless All Y’all.” In the background, mountains roll softly beneath an open sky, and a sign reads “Grinder’s Switch” — a wink to her beloved fictional hometown and the playful folksiness that made Minnie Pearl iconic.

More than nostalgia, this piece celebrates the woman behind the hat: Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon, whose wit and warmth brought Minnie Pearl to life. Through layered collage, texture, and playful detail, this portrait honors her legacy — not as a polished stage persona, but as a spirited, generous, and deeply human woman whose laughter and kindness turned small-town anecdotes into timeless comedy.
