Rare and Unique Mose Tolliver, Mose T, painting. One of only a few that I had the pleasure of seeing him paint with children on the bus and not adults. It was not his typical subject matter. Enjoy it like I have for years. Mose was a self-taught artist. He started painting after a pallet of marble fell on his legs and crushed it while working at the furniture store. Mose began to paint on any surface-furniture, scraps, plywood, packing crate sides, Masonite, metal trays, board remnants, throw away chairs or other abandoned surfaces given to him. Mose used what he calls “pure paint, ” house paint-oil based at first, and then water-based latex. At first, he drew birds and flowers, then he expanded to people and children and some personal requests. Mose used his house on Sayre street as his art gallery. I would go down there and look at what new pieces he had painted and were for sale. He liked to talk about his painting. This piece is one of the unusual pieces I got the pleasure of purchasing.
