This past weekend we went to the late Rev/Artist Howard Finster
in Summerville, Ga. Paradise Festival.
He was eccentric, painting or sculpturing what popped in his mind, complete with quoted
Bible scriptures. Cast away junk was his
canvas. He turned throw away junk into
art. His Paradise is on a few acres in
the middle of a run-down neighborhood which has seen better days.
Even thought the day we attended, I think, was an annual
festival, I learned that Paradise is opened year round.
The below pictures does not represent even 1% of the art, compulsive as it is. It just goes and on.
You will learn a lot about Howard Finster if you Google him.
