seller :
"I first met Mr. Henderson while living in Tennessee. He displayed some of
his paintings at a local coffee store and that is how I came to find his
work. I usually prefer more modern paintings, but loved his simple and
charming story-telling paintings. I purchased two paintings from him, that
was 1997, I think. He should be in his 50s now and paints more as a hobby
than anything else. I know he did take some art classes and I think he still
takes some non-credit art classes at the local university. He was really
surprised when I sold some of his paintings and couldn't believe anyone
would be interested in his simple little paintings."
do the personal desciptions (v. straightforward media, size date, etc) influence your decision of whether to purchase or not?
I like that everyone depicted (cat included) is in profile, excepting the owl...
i think thats the new yorker "talk of the town" owl? we liked the paintings on face value. it strikes a balance of schooled unschooled. the people and the geometry. the colors. no real put off in the descriptions. my friend richard watches this section of ebay and he thinks these are the nicest things to come down the pike in a long time. he (folkfinder) didnt win it though. he also has never heard of henderson prior to this group and there was no web history outside of ebay and me (now).
