He passed on Oct. 30, 2006. What a great guy. I have 15 or so of his works and always looking for more. Send pics!😀

Later works by Mose T were often painted by his kids, are these earlier examples of his work?

Anyway to identify a true original?

I can pretty much tell. They are surely not the pretty ones. He was very old so you have to look at the lines. Moses hand has been shaky for 20 years. His works had alot of splatter and very raw. You gotta use alot of gut instinct.

I use to live in Montgomery. Went to see Mose often. I have many items painted on by him that are not boards. Like a get-tar , buckets, a hat. Sorry to see him pass. He was a cheerful fellow.

There are not many true Southeastern folk artist left:

Woodie Long
Bernice Sims
Jimmie Lee Suddth

Jimmie Lee is not long for this world either... :(

Oooo, Seagrover is mad at me now. I "misplaced" Bird a few years ago and now she wants it back. Uh oh.

The reason why I ask for authenticity is I purchased a painting (watermelon) and on the back it was labeled original with something that looks like a serial number.
I had heard his kids are painting on his behalf.

Send me a pic. Who did you purchase from?

I am starting to think there must be hundreds, if not thousands of these Mose T paintings out there. Could anybody drive to his house and swap a quick painting for booze? Didn't the kids get in on the act? Bobby J, you might be able to make a career out of identifying the genuine ones.

Thousands were painted by the kids. I had some wild times up there. One time his son tried to beat me up for a cigarette. I would have given him one but I do not smoke so I was in a rough situation.... Mose looks over at me and says, "Boy, hand me that hammer"! I give him a hammer laying on a table in his bedroom. He raises it high in the air and looks at his son and says, "N*****, I'll bust you over your head if you don't leave that boy alone"! His son left me alone. Anyway, it is really hard to tell but even if a kid did one they are a part of Southern history. Send pics and I give it a shot. I will post some photos I have of Mose T soon! He will be missed!

I think that is true...that is why he started "resigning them on the back"...
