Self-Taught Folk Artist Uses Paints to Tell of Mellow Time by KAY ATKINSPublished: Sun, December 16, 1984 12:00 AMNone of artist Beth Cummings work is hanging in the Louvre or the Met.But that doesnt bother the chatty lady from Yazoo City, Miss. Her work is hanging just where she wants it: in peoples homes.Mrs. Cummings, who was at Country Temptations in northwest Oklahoma City recently to sign her limited edition prints, is a folk artist. That means, she explained, that shes a self-taught artist whose paintings tell a story.Some people call those little wooden cut-outs and things like that folk art, but it really isnt. Folk artists use paint instead of words, but theyre all telling a story. Its like Im the author of a painting, Mrs. Cummings said.Mrs. Cummings has risen from painting gifts for family and friends six years ago to having her work shown in more than 800 shops and galleries across the country.Her works range from the family reunion where all the babies were put on the quilt under a big tree to groups of fuzzy animals and even still-life portrayals of the makins for biscuits or for grits and eggs. They feature a softer time when life was mellowed by memories and dreams.(Thanks to lhowardestates research on eBay)
