Capturing precious moments on canvas is not
as important to the Rev. Irving Hines' love for
his wife, Daisy. But his love for painting ranks
a strong second.
Hines, 75, still has an eye as keen as the
youth who wept at the sight of beauty a half a
century ago.
"When I was about 16 or 17 years old, I
would go up town," he says, his voice crescen- *
doing with each step he takes back into history,
"and this man would have these beautiful paintings
in his window. I'd just stand there and
look at them and cry because I wanted to paint
just like that so bad."

in oil paintings until he perfected the craft.
The results are a life-sized portrait of Jesus
kneeling at Gethsemane, a portrait of the late
Mahalia Jackson, and his aunt and uncle. His
favorite subjects in his large collection of works
are landscape, waterfalls, animals in the wild
and mountains.
"I like painting nature in the raw," he says.
"A lot of the times I don't know what I'm going
to paint. The Lord reveals to me what I
paint.
"I look forward to the spring," Hines says.
"The streams are bubbling, flowers blooming.
