Leonard Jones Leonard has lived all of his 46 years in the same rural area of eastern Georgia near his brothers and sisters. He lives on a farm in an old house with a tin roof, without electricity or running water, and he doesn’t own a car or drive. He “likes it out here because it’s quiet.” Leonard’s work is most often latex paint on sheets of old roofing tin gathered from old structures around the area. He paints the larger sections of all his works with a house painting brush and does his detailed work with sticks that he breaks off a bush near his front porch. His choice of subject matter is most often derived from his childhood or early life memories and experiences. Rarely does Leonard paint a piece that does not include a person. His work is unique especially because of his choice of perspective. Where other folk painters choose the head-on, two dimensional approach, many of Leonard’s works are seen from angles more akin to the camera man than the folk painter. Yet his naïve execution still reserves a primitive, innocent quality.
