Everybody nearly calls me

Finister Art
oIS 9
In ‘Time
The Rev. Howard Finster’s
‘‘Absolut Georgia” ag)pears in
a February issue of “Time”
ma%azine.
inster, Summerville, is one
of America’'s lgre-eminent folk
artists and a Baptist preacher.
He has created more than
20,000 numbered works of
brightly colored, highly detail
ed art.
Finster, 76, works on vir
tually any available surface or
object, with subjects ranging
from heaven and hell to pop
images.
Visitors to his former home
in Pennville, Paradise Gardens,
each year total thousands.
At Paradise Gardens,
Finster has created two ex
traordinary surrealistic en
vironments, the two-and-a-half
acre garden and the World’s
Folk Art Church. .
Absolut Georgia is one of
51 ori%i.nal new works by ar
tists, from each state in the
U. S. plus District Columbia,
commissioned by Absolut
Vodka.
Each artist sou%fllt to cap
ture the spirit of his or her
home state while also incor
porating the Absolut Vodka
image.
“When I was a girl, as quick
as a child EOt big enough they
worked, she said.
“The really young kids
would sit on a gallet in the
shade, and the other kids wat
ched the younger ones while
theK{worked on the farm.”
rs. Goolslzm]g'rew up
workinfi on her family’s farm.
One of her chores was drawing
water from an 85-foot well.
Mrs. Gfoolsby has fond
memories of growing up on her
family’s Tallapoosa farm. But
she thinks some of the changes
since then are good and bad.
“It’d be worse if we took u(f
the habits of some,” she said.
“I believe in being decent, not
going around half naked and
oing like some do. They'll pay
for it though.”
Mrs. Goolsby said she used
to wear dresses with big
fiathererd skirts that reach
er ankles.’
“A lot of the women wore
bgvnlx:etslthey made,” she said.
“When I was growing up
ple didn’t have everything‘l’iéft;
they do now.”
She used to travel by horse
and buggy, and if several peo
file were going, they took a two
orse wagon.
“We raised corn and beans,
milked cows and churned but
ter. “When I could get it cold
and hard enough, I'd mold it
(butter) and sell it if I had more
than I could use,” she said, ad
ding that back then most peo
ple cooked with butter.
“I could cook a lot of things
with butter when I didn’t have
grease,” she said.
Mrs. Goolsby said she likes
Summerville ‘“‘pretty good.”
“I don’t go no where, but
I've made some friends,” she
said.
~ Up until about six months
ago, Mrs. Goolsby was pretty
active, according to her
daughter.
The mother and daughter
together explained, with Mrs.
Worsham demonstrating, card
cotton many years ago.
Mrs. Goolsby also reminisc
ed about ‘‘quiltings.”
“The women used to all get
together and help with a quilt,
while the men went to the crib
and shucked corn,” she said.
“All the neighbors would go
from one house to the other to
help out.”
Everyone at the quilting
would bring a dish.
“Folks just don’t know
what fun is,”” Mrs. Goolsby
said.
The carded cotton was us
ed to make batting for the
quilts, and sometimes the cot
ton would be woven into thread
on a spinninfir wheel. Occa
sionally the thread would be
woven into cloth.
“My grandmother had a
spinning wheel and she’d make
the cotton into thread, Mrs.
Goolsby remembered.

Most of them were riding

“But if you were an
American, they knew you had
money. They thought all
Americans were rich. And to

Jason said they enjoy hav
