Regional Significance: Finley lives in the Greystone golf community near Birmingham. He is a member of the American Watercolor Society and is renowned for his "timeless" Southern landscapes.
Subject Matter: This piece depicts the Shoal Creek Club (or potentially Greystone), capturing the prestigious English-manor architecture that defines these world-class Alabama courses.
Reevaluated Value (2026 Market)
As a Limited Edition Print (25/200), this is significantly more valuable than a standard open-edition or mass-produced print. Most of Finley’s commercial prints have edition sizes in the 800–1,200 range; an edition of only 200 is quite rare for his work.
