At the age of 85, he took up a pencil and a scrap of cardboard to document his recollections and observations. From 1939 to 1942, while working on the sidewalks of Montgomery, he produced nearly 1,500 pieces of art.The painting does not have a Certificate of Authenticity, providence, or other documents. Sold as-is, in the manner of the artist. Size: 8 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches.
