You tell us about Mose. We tell others about you. The others tell everyone about us.

I love Mose’s work! When I lived in Alabama, I’d seek him out at the Kentuck Arts Festival and he was always so prolific and kind. Thanks for this piece! Brought back some great memories!

History seems to show people named Mose are going to be cool and talented. More proof right here.

Solid. I stare at the painting and the painting stares back. It’s happenied to me with my own work.

Great story, thanks for sharing. Followed the link and definitely not getting his work for "fiddy" now. Are the 2 paintings at the end of the story the ones you purchased?

This just might be the case where 1000 words tells the picture, and then suddenly the picture tells 1000 words.

Always interesting to read about people you've encountered and / or their art.

Thanks again for exposing me to fascinating folks.

Sorry, Chuck but this fellow's atuff doesn't do much for me in spit of the cool back story .. different streaks for different freaks , I guess... Take care

Your poor grammar and punctuation don’t do much for me either. So I suppose we’re even.

Hey Chuck, I think you must be one of the lucky ones. Your stories always show how much you pay attention to life. Thanks Buddy
