I exhausted myself (easy to do at 76 years old) chasing Louis Vuittonet and his world of art! Right now an ad for Raw vision’s Fall Issue is being prepared.
The man, Louis Vuittonet is an amazing man. He is 1/2 French, 1/4 Mexican, and 1/4 Cherokee Indian. He moves 100 miles per hour 100% of the time. He is obsessed with painting! I have no idea how his mind works but however, it is a astonishing! His ideas are limitless and he never runs out! He paints using his hands and finger-tips as brushes. I asked him if he wasn’t worriedabout the toxics in the paint. he replied, “At my age, why worry?”

There has been an artist I have watched for awhile. The paintings on his website were too expensive for me but I wanted to connect. Well a few days ago we connected and he is now part of Graves Country gallery. He is Louis Vuittonet, part Cherokee Indian. French. and Mexican. I have no idea what to call his art other than great! Welcome aboard Louis!

When I decided to add Howard Rains to our gallery I had not the slightest idea who I was adding. I just loved his paintings. I knew he loved playing the fiddle and also painting. Tonight I spent a long time researching the web for Howard. After 10 full pages of entries, I just figure they will go on and on. Folks, Howard is not only a great artist but is also a very well known fiddler.

I have bought and sold art and antiques for 35 or 40 years. My favorite paintings are by Clementine Hunter. My favorite deceased artist is Jimmy Lee Sudduth. My favorite living artist–how I love my friend Bernice Sims but I don’t think anyone can top the awesome and sometimes vulgar antics of Steven Chandler. His paintings are beyond good. He is as crazy as a fox but somehow I always look forward to seeing what is next!–olRoff– Graves Country Gallery

This memory was inspired by an email from an artistand fiddler in Texas, Harold Rains—.I was born and spent my early years in Texas–My dad loved the fiddle, tho he often referred to it as his violin. He never really played well but when he got mad at mom he would go into his room, lock the door and start playing his violin. Fond memories—olRoff
