DeCinter Farley was his Mother and a prolific primitive artist. Most of her paintings are from her memories of growing up on a farm in Northern Louisiana. I really like them. They are colorful and very charming. And interesting. Jewette told me that he was once in a primitive art store in Carmel, California and asked if they had any paintings by DeCinter Farley. By golly, they had three!
There was a large enthusiastic crowd at the open house. It was a great affair with all the trimmings. I had fun photographing many of the paintings by DeCinter Farley. Sorry but I do not show the titles.
The following gives some more information.
I am a vulture for culture. Seriously, I enjoyed the paintings very much.
I stumbled across your blog somehow - These are my grandmother's paintings! I'm the oldest grandchild and was born in Ruston. Jewette is my Uncle. =)
ReplyDeleteFirst, let me share my condolences on the death of your son, Christopher. I know how it feels - I lost my 34 year old daughter June, 2009.
I enjoyed this entry... and will also read your son's. I look at my daughter's stuff every day.
