Painting

Jim Weaver’s style is simple, but unique. His colorful, historical paintings evoke his memories of growing up in small town Alabama in the late 1940s and 50s.

“I want my paintings to show people how happy things could be, how happy things were when I was growing up. And, they still can be the same way,” explains Jim.

This self-taught folk artist began painting 16 years ago at the age of 60. “I’ll keep painting until the day I die. I just enjoy doing it.”
Each painting includes a written story behind the painting. You’ll often see his childhood dog, Cracker, show up in his paintings. “I paint my memories,” Jim says.
