Art's Worth - by Hardy Parkerson


Some view Gussie's paintings and say,

"They're not worth throwing away."

Others say, "Owning a Townsley would be nice,

If we could just afford the price!"

 

The worth of every work of art

Comes from within the viewer's heart;

And we all learn, as we grow older,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

 

[About the late, great primative artist from

Southwest Louisiana Gussie Townsley and

her paintings.]
