Willie White, “Birds and Crosses”, Self-Taught Artist, Felt Tip Markers on Paper
A retired gent with a mesozoic vision, Willie White, a self taught artist from New Orleans, sold felt marker landscapes like “Birds and Crosses”, from his Central City front porch. He painted odd animals but the women he painted were odder, at times resembling those obscene “Sheela-na-gig” female gargoyles that can be seen exposing themselves above strategic portals on ancient Irish cathedrals.
