Hollow’ painter scores with sports, nature art
According to a Finnish proverb, even a small star shines in the darkness. Although the former college linebacker is only a ‘small star’ by the standards of our celebrity-obsessed culture, Luther Harris III, who has lived near Bells Mill Road for the past 30 years, has artistic talent that shines like a beacon at midnight. His artistic instincts are sharper than a serpent’s tooth. Harris, 56, a former caseworker, supervisor, manager and administrator during a 33-year career with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, is currently uplifting spirits in another discipline. A self-taught artist with stunning talent as a cartoonist, caricaturist and representational painter of athletes and Wissahickon Valley nature scenes, Harris’ work is currently on display through August 16 at Goat Hollow, 300 W. Mt. Pleasant Ave.
