Rev/Artist Howard Finster, One Man's Art, Another's Rubble

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.
