A friend recently told me that Oprah Winfrey collects his work. He was born in 1910 and spent his life working construction, doing gardening, and working on farms. He says he has painted all his life. Most of his work is on plywood, incorporates house paint along with mud, creating images of people, animals and houses. The images and colors are soft, simple and lovely.<BR><br><br> <center><a href=index.html> Back to Artists List </a></CENTER></FONT> </BODY>
