Born into a lumberjack’s family of thirteen children, young Howard had his. First vision at the age of three. While looking for his mother in the. Family’s vegetable garden, he saw his dead sister wearing a white robe and. Howard believed that this was a sign from God that he would use art to spread the gospel Howard abandoned his career as a preacher and, at the age. Of sixty-one and without any artistic training, began to paint toward his. Initial goal of 5,000 works of art. Some 40,000 works of art later, he spread his vision across the country. Used tractor paint to paint details on earlier pieces. In later years, he preferred a felt tip marker, sometimes using an entire marker on one painting. He fil led the back with words, poems, and poignant religious sayings. In the 1980’s, I was lucky to have visited Howard several times at his Paradise Garden in Summerville, where he had created “Paradise Gardens”, the outdoor environment that he began in the early 1960s. Howard was extremely talkative and charismatic, with a generosity of spirit that drew people to him. He would chat nonstop to his visitors as he worked on a cutout piece of wood- obsessively painting. I photographed him many times. Here is a hand colored photo that took of his pink Cadillac. He was always so friendly. I remember one time when I visited, he gave me a big bowl of plums from his garden. Even as his health failed in the 1990s, Howard remained the folk-art icon as he is today.

Vintage 1930s WPA Rural Works Progress Industrial Depression Folk Art Oil Canvas
This WPA impressionistic landscape oil on canvas painting looks like it should be on the cover of Steinbeck’s novel, “The Grapes of Wrath”. It has so many elements of what one wants in a WPA painting…. The rural landscape pose, a deterioration, deprivation, contrasted with progress and survival. Don’t miss the chickens, telephone poles and even wires faint across the blue sky, and an old car sits below the barn or maybe even turned living quarters. Overall condition is good, not perfect at all. The painting has a very small tear on the barn, better seen on the reverse photo of canvas backside. And there are some paint flakes here and there, and tiny flakes along a slight canvas ripple heading off to the upper right corner. Once you get over those flaws, you stand back and can’t stop looking at it. Its flaws do not take away, it’s as if they add to it, and it has so much emotion to it. In the lower left corner, it looks like a signature, A K____. But I can’t decipher it with certainty. It looks like a well accomplished WPA painter, and I wish I could know who the artist is without any doubt. Measures 25 ” x 21 ” framed 20 ” x 16 ” unframed. If you love rural farmhouse and historical social movement statements, and anything to do with WPA and The Great Depression era, you will love adding this to your home!
