Paul Roseboro: Touching hearts with art
By IUNTA V.
Chrootete Staff Writer
Three-year-old Paul L. Rose
boro interrupted his mother s
favorite soap opera one time too
many and she ordered him to go
find something constructive to do
with his time.
She gave him an old book and
a pencil and told him to draw some
thing. .
"I drew and I drew and I drew
until I started going through the
house looking for old books so 1
? could draw on the backs of the
printed pages/ Mr. Roseboro
remembered.
From that early start the Win
ston-Salem native went on to win
contests, awards and has now
gained substantial recognition as an
up and coming artist
However, he doesn't credit his
talent to any special blessing or
innate ability.
"I was just an average student
' in school," Mr. Roseboro said,
? reflecting on his days at West
Forsytn High School. "And I've
never had the big head. It's just
something I worked very hard at,
and I started at it so early that I just
got better"
The talented artist is currently
selling hit most recent work, the
"Leprechaun," at $20 a print. Mr.
Roseboro painted the piece from a
newspaper photo of an Afro- Ameri
can girl dressed as a leprechaun and
doing a jig. The artwork, he said, is
a limited edition print
"That means 1 took the original
drawing or painting, had it repro
= duced and had so many- editions -
copied," he said. "It's a marketing
tool that places a value on the piece
because there are only so many on
the market"
He set the price so low because
the piece is his favorite and he
wanted people of all socioeconomic
levels to be able to purchase a print,
he said. Mr. Roseboro also admitted
that this was his first limited edition
print and he wanted to make sure it
sold.
