Money</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">George Pierson Money (1867-1951), the elder brother of H.D. Money, was born in Hinds County, Mississippi.&nbsp; Like his brother, George P. Money was a lawyer having studied for the bar examination in Carrollton, Mississippi.&nbsp; In 1891, he was admitted to the bar there and practiced law for twenty-five years.&nbsp; When his father was in the Senate, young Money resided in Washington D.C. and worked as a file clerk in the House of Representatives document room and was chief clerk in the folding room of the House of Representatives.&nbsp; He also worked on a USGS survey team, which was mapping the region near the District of Columbia.<em>(The Daily Herald, March 7, 1951, p. 1)</em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">George P. Money’s law experience was quite varied.&nbsp; From 1893 to 1900, he worked as the assistant U.S. attorney for the Territory of New Mexico.&nbsp; In November 1904, he ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat for the position of delegate to Congress from the New Mexico Territory.&nbsp; In 1905, the G.P. Money family relocated to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.&nbsp; He was the deputy clerk and U.S. commissioner at Biloxi from 1918 until 1949.<em>(The Daily Herald, June 3, 1948, p. 6 and March 7, 1951, p. 1)</em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">At heart, George P. Money was a newspaperman.&nbsp; His early experience was with <em>The Chattanooga Evening News </em>and <em>The Greenwood Enterprise</em>, where he co-published with Governor James K. Vardaman (1861-1930).&nbsp; During WW I, Money became associated with <em>The Daily Herald.&nbsp; </em>He was with this journal for thirty-two years and was its longtime editor.<em>(ibid.)</em></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>REFERENCES:</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><u>The Biloxi Daily Herald, Business and Professional Men</u></strong>, (The Biloxi Daily Herald: Biloxi, Mississippi-1902), p. .</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><u>The Daily Herald 50<sup>th</sup> Golden Jubilee Number Biographical and Historical 1884-1934</u></strong>, (The Daily Herald: Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi-1934).</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Charles L.

He managed John Hancock offices in St. Louis and Kansas City, before joining Massachusetts Mutual Insurance Company in Kansas City and managing their offices in Kansas City and Mobile. In 1967, he purchased the Watson Insurance Agency in Biloxi, from his uncle, Gene Peresich, and served as owner/operator of the Watson-Lyons Insurance Agency until 1974. As a local business man, he was a member of the Biloxi Businessmen\'s Club and the Chamber of Commerce.&nbsp;</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Billy was employed briefly by Ingalls Shipyard, before starting his own company, King of the Hill Productions, pioneering delivery of closed-circuit telecasts of world championship boxing events. The championship fight featuring Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns was a highlight for the company. Billy\'s success in promoting and setting up boxing events led to his involvement with the Biloxi Jets, a minor league basketball team. As director of group sales, he led the league in ticket sales, doubling average sales records.&nbsp;</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Appointed by Governor Kirk Fordice, Billy served as State Athletic Commissioner from 1992-2003, providing licensure and oversight of boxing and wrestling events for the state of Mississippi. During his tenure, the Mississippi Athletic Commission raised millions of dollars in revenue surpassing Atlantic City and second only to Las Vegas in quality and revenue-producing boxing events. His work with the Commission was featured in various boxing magazines and \"Sports Illustrated\". Bouts featuring boxing greats, such as: Larry Holmes, Oscar De La Hoya, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones, and Laila Ali were televised on major sports networks, including: ABC, ESPN, Showtime, HBO, and Fox.&nbsp;</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">As much as he enjoyed his paid employment, his favorite activities included charity and community service. He was a proud member of the Biloxi Elks Lodge #606, where he served as exalted ruler in 1991-92. He chaired the Thanksgiving/Christmas Basket Committee and the Elks Charity Golf Tournament for several years and was named Elk of the Year in 1983. For many years, he served on the Harrison County Development Commission, an organization promoting economic and community development. He was a member of many civic and service organizations throughout his life and was named Biloxi\'s Outstanding Citizen in 1978.&nbsp;</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">He was active in Our Lady of Fatima Church, serving on committees for the annual bazaar and Christmas tree sales, as well as the Knights of Columbus.

He traveled the world, but was always a proud ambassador for the state of Mississippi, and especially the city of Biloxi, calling it \"America\'s Best Kept Secret\". His positive spirit, sense of humor, and zest for living will be missed by all who knew him.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Billy Lyons was preceded in death by his parents, John Christian Lyons and Adelaide Peresich Lyons; his beloved wife, Joy Branson Lyons; his sister, Marie Lyons Stewart; and his brothers, Joseph Lyons; John \"Speedy\" Lyons; Matt Lyons; and Kenneth \"Jerome\" Lyons.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">He is survived by his three children -- Carol Lyons Halliburton of Jackson, Mississippi; Michael Lyons of Houston, Texas; and Susie Lyons Strahan of Owensboro, Kentucky; his brothers – Eugene \"Jimmy\" Lyons, Robert \"Bobby\" Lyons, and Steve Lyons of Biloxi; his grandchildren – Kristy Strahan Compton, Rudy Strahan, Elizabeth Strahan, William Strahan, Katie Lyons, and Bryce Lyons; his great grandchildren – Branson Ellis, Peyton Ellis, Grace Ellis and Scott Compton; and various nieces and nephews.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Billy Lyons was the son of John Christian Lyons and Adelaide Mable Peresich (1897-1943), born March 11, 1897 to Joseph Peresich (1852-1933), a native of Lovran, Primorje-Gorski County, Croatia.

Friends say Lyons’ departure will leave a huge void in the downtown parish where the spry octogenarian has been a mainstay. “He has been a rock for this parish,” said Sister Mary Riordan. “He has always been faithful in coming to church. He’s an usher here in the parish. He set up for Mass here every morning and made sure everything was ready for the priest. He’s also been a very faithful member of our St. Vincent de Paul Society. He’s been very supportive of all the parish ministries.”</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Cathedral rector Father John McGrath said Lyons is a special person.</span><br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">“Billy Lyons is the kindest and most gentle man I have ever met,” Father McGrath said. “He is a dedicated heart of Biloxi. He told me this past Sunday that every morning he thanks God that he was raised in Biloxi and a member of Nativity. His pleasant approach will be missed by all the parishioners of the Cathedral parish.”</span><br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">A lifelong Biloxian, Lyons, who will turn 85 in October, is one of nine children – eight boys and one girl and countless grandchildren.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Lyons, whose wife, Joy B. Lyons (1927-1982), died 25 years ago, has three children. His oldest daughter lives in Jackson, his son lives in Houston and his youngest daughter, with whom he will be staying, lives in Owensboro, Kentucky. While he looks forward to being with is daughter, Lyons said he will miss Nativity Parish.</span><br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">“I go to Mass every morning and my first prayer every morning is in thanksgiving that I was baptized Catholic,” Lyons said.“I’m thankful that I was able to go to the old Sacred Heart Academy with the nuns – the Sisters of Mercy. The clergy that we had were just so kind and so good to me. I was an altar boy when I was five years-old and I’m 85 and I’m still doing it.”</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Lyons was a Merchant Marine during World War II and later joined the Army.

It’s a beautiful day in God’s providence that the Feast of the Sacred Heart is the day that we will send him off with our prayers.”</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">Following Mass, the celebration moved across the street to the Old Biloxi Schooner Restaurant where Lyons was presented a prayer book from the St. Vincent de Paul Society. After a chorus of “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”, Lyons and his friends said so long for now but, make no mistake about it, this wasn’t a goodbye because Lyons will definitely be back to visit his Nativity family.</span><br />\r\n<span style=\"background-color:rgb(220, 208, 207); font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px\">“Oh yes, I can’t stay away from Biloxi,” he said.</span><br />\r\n&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">_____________________________________________________________________________</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/Lyons%2C%20Kenny-1948.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:232px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">circa 1948</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><strong>Kenneth J.

He was educated in the Biloxi school system. Bernard learned the shipbuilding business from his father, Frank Taltavull. In August 1901, young Taltavull while using the circular saw at his father’s shipyard severely cut his thumb and forefinger. Dr. Bolton (1859-1923) was called to the Back Bay boatyard to attend to Bernard’s hand.

Mr. Taltavull had seventeen boats and employed a maximum of 150 people, which included pickers, weighers, inspectors, and handlers. Production capacity was thirty barrels per hour. A conveyor belt carried the shrimp directly from the vessels to the plant. Additional land was added to the Taltavull operation in December 1945, when a tract east of the factory was acquired from A.T. Cvitanovich for $1400.(Harrison County, Ms. Land Deed Book 259, p. 270 and Book 281, p. 101)</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">After WW II, the health of Bernard Taltavull began to fail.

width:231px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne matriculated to the University of &nbsp;Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg that fall, but his college career was cut short by a chance encounter. &nbsp;In his fourth month a friend reported he was getting ready to join the army. &nbsp;Wayne decided to drop out of school to serve his country too, and, by the way, take advantage of the GI Bill tuition benefits on his return. &nbsp;After obtaining his parents’ permission, he launched a three-year army stint.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Army life provided sufficient \"down\" time for Wayne to engage in his favorite activity, reading. &nbsp;His diverse interests ran to both fiction and non-fiction, especially history. &nbsp;Near the end of his stent he went into town on leave and saw the movie, Lust for Life, with Kirk Douglas. &nbsp;This show, about the life of Vincent Van Gough, included a scene with Van Gough’s brother Theo, an art dealer. &nbsp;Vincent couldn’t sell many of his paintings, so they accumulated at his brother’s apartment, presenting a habitation loaded with paintings. &nbsp;The scene touched something inside Wayne and at that moment he decided he wanted to be a painter. &nbsp;Prior to that inspiration he’d never had that feeling, nor had there been a painter in the family.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">While in town he bought a sketchbook, pencils, and a paperback book with an introduction to art whose first rule stated, \"Sketch everything!\" &nbsp;He took that to heart. &nbsp;His first sketches were of his combat boots and towel on his bunk. &nbsp;The results pleased him enough that he soon graduated to cardboard canvas and an inexpensive oil painting set. &nbsp;At the time he was stationed in Texas, and, upon attending a bullfight, went back to the base and painted his first large piece, the fight, and found himself gratified with his results.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Discharged from service in 1957, he returned home, searching for a job that would give him time to paint. &nbsp;His uncle owned a wholesale plumbing and electric supply on Howard Ave. &nbsp;and suggested he go into the family trade. &nbsp;With credit given by his uncle he rented a small building on 25th Ave. &nbsp;and hung a homemade sign. &nbsp;In two years he was doing so well he moved his business, \"Rosetti Supply Co.\", into a larger space on 28th St. &nbsp;Once the business was established he found he had spare time to devote to his art.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In December 1964 he married his one and only, Helen Bates. &nbsp;From the very beginning she had a strong influence on his art, Wayne consulting her on such things as color choices. &nbsp;Their marriage has survived happily to this day, with two grown successful offspring.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In the late 1960s he discovered an art shop in Edgewater Mall that sold him clay for sculpting. &nbsp;Similar to his painting, he decided he would pursue his sculpture without any formal training. &nbsp;\"My first one, a frog, came out so well I wanted to do more,\" Wayne recalled. &nbsp;\"Next I created a seal, just from memory.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/u4/Rosetti-lion.jpg\" style=\"height:125px; width:157px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Lion in Gold</span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">He found he could rely on the pictures in his mind for both his sculpture and his painting, even for complex scenes such as running water. &nbsp;One of his earliest animals painted from memory is his <strong>Lion in Gold.&nbsp;</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In the late sixties Wayne developed new ideas about how to approach his art, beginning with research into the masters and their techniques. &nbsp;This was a compromise he made, based on his decision not to go to formal training, his concern being possible contamination of his ideas from the standard education. &nbsp;He said, \"I wanted all my art to come from within.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Another decision he made around this time was to continue to change his media and his subjects. He reports having read that most artists become known for one particular type of art, and, especially if that form becomes popular, nine out of ten of those artists won’t deviate from the style that’s responsible for their income.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/u4/Rosetti-boy and horse.jpg\" style=\"height:150px; width:124px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Horse and Boy</span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Consequently Wayne focused on constant experimentation. &nbsp;\"I would not limit myself to any type of material,\" he said. &nbsp;\"I’d even use iodine, shoe polish, anything, to make it expansive. &nbsp;If I developed new techniques, I would emulate it with another one. &nbsp;I progressed from Lion in Gold to <strong>Horse and Boy</strong>; same background, palette, and technique. &nbsp;I’d do a series of that work implementing extensions in color and subject matter.\"&nbsp; He said he wouldn’t implement a new technique until he felt he’d exhausted all aspects of the current one.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne’s subjects varied depending on his mood, commonly a historical theme, or something from nature such as an animal. &nbsp;He was striving for an art with a universal perspective, topics resistant to dating. &nbsp;As he matured, he concentrated on what Leonardo da Vinci described as \"gesture\" – like the position of the hand or the smile of the face, the details that set the theme for the rest of the painting.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/u4/Rosetti-holy man.jpg\" style=\"height:200px; width:133px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Holy Man</span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In his <strong>Holy Man</strong>,&nbsp;he wanted to incorporate two of the essential parts of religion, compassion and humility. &nbsp;He chose a dark palate and emphasized the themes with the man’s expression and posture. &nbsp;Wayne’s palate tends to be consistently dark, often based on burnt umber, so much so that a relative described it as typical of a \"Medievalist.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/u4/Rosetti-Peaceable Kingdom.jpg\" style=\"height:164px; width:200px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse</span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif; font-size:16px\">Wayne remembers his first large painting, commissioned by his brother who was inspired by Edward Hicks’ 1834 painting \"Peaceable Kingdom.\" &nbsp;This was in the early 1960s, when large canvas was difficult to come by, requiring having the canvas specially made. &nbsp;After completing the work he was so taken with the theme he created a similar one for his own home. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">During his early career selling opportunities were rare, with few local galleries and only the occasional small art show. &nbsp;Though his portfolio was beginning to grow, even those opportunities he rarely explored, for he felt reluctant to try to sell. &nbsp;\"When you show your art work,\" he said, \"you show how you feel, and expose your inner self. &nbsp;Later on I learned that some people will like it and some won’t. &nbsp;In my youth I thought every piece had to be a masterpiece. &nbsp;They don’t. &nbsp;Even so, each one must be redeemable art in its own right.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Like most inspired talents, his production has been prolific, though not necessarily continuous. &nbsp;His usual workdays were eight hours, sometimes longer. &nbsp;He reports short bursts of creativity, worn down by concentration and determination of placing the art, the colors, and the contrast. &nbsp;At times he’d take a leave of absence from painting, feeling burnt out. &nbsp;\"After a break I’d be inspired by a comment or something I’d seen.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Sometimes a visual, musical, or literary allusion would inspire him. &nbsp;Andrew Lloyd Weber’s \"Phantom of the Opera\" inspired one piece. &nbsp;Another inspiration came from the biblical reference to the \"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.\" &nbsp;\"Those were all those destructive forces striving to overwhelm mankind. &nbsp;My approach was to project how Man comes face-to-face with those forces, but with the help of nature can win the battle in the midst of all that destruction.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">He assesses his style as a mix; often merging impressionistic, realistic, and primitive styles in a form where they could all gel. &nbsp;He loved experimenting with new forms, working with them until they’d been assimilated into his work. &nbsp;Around his home he pointed to different pieces and described their technique. &nbsp;\"Naïve.\" &nbsp;\"Minimalist.\" &nbsp;\"Outsider Art.\" &nbsp;This latter is the concept of painting like somebody who has had no formal training and thus creating a unique approach to art. &nbsp;Pieces of this type have, for example, exaggerated heads, done with a personal interpretation. &nbsp;\"Assemblage\" developed from this form.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">\"I was quite taken with Picasso for quite awhile. &nbsp;Klee also an influence.\" &nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/u4/Rosetti-ram sculpture.jpg\" style=\"height:143px; width:200px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">The Ram</span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In describing his sculptures, Wayne likes to base the forms on realism, such as <strong>The Ram</strong>. However, though based on realism, he liked to exaggerate the forms, giving them a whimsical look providing each its own personality.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">\"Thus they’re created not from a real life, but more my interpretation of the life. &nbsp;In my paintings I put the animals in appealing poses, though they may not look like real life, it might even be better than what real life can portray. &nbsp;<em>(Figure 8)</em> &nbsp;I brought that approach to my sculpture. &nbsp;I was interested in animals and nature and how to be creative in my interpretations. &nbsp;I studied primitive sculpture, like in African Art and New Guinea art, where exaggerated forms have real meaning to them. &nbsp;It becomes very striking when you see them.\" &nbsp;For the sculptures’ skeletons, known as the armature, he utilized everyday things, such as empty cola bottles. &nbsp;Statue in Green and Gold <em>(Figure 9)</em> is three parts, a brick, a sculptured bird, and an upside down whiskey bottle.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne described his concept in regards to one of his early paintings, The Warrior. &nbsp;\"A warrior always carried death on his shoulder – that’s the only way to be brave enough to go into battle. &nbsp;I had him facing death, and he was facing him with his shield up. &nbsp;Going to face Death.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Once he had the work created he took it to a hotel that was allowing local artists to hang their work for sale. &nbsp;When he showed it to the curator she didn’t believe he had painted it, saying it was too good, refusing to hang it.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne’s work is most remarkable for almost never having been shown. &nbsp;He just kept hanging each new piece on a blank spot on the wall, until his house seemed completely filled up.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">The one exception to that history came about serendipitously when, in 1994, a repairman came by to fix Wayne’s old grandfather clock. &nbsp;When the man was inside the house he was fascinated by all the paintings. &nbsp;He had heard the owners of a new furniture store were looking for an artist to show in conjunction with their opening. &nbsp;This resulted in his fifteen minutes of fame when Dave Elliot from WLOX came to the home to film and interview. &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">At one point Dave Elliot asked, \"What do your children think of your art?\" &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">\"My children grew up around art,\" Wayne replied, \"So it wasn’t a big thing, it was just something that Dad did. &nbsp;Basically, they simply enjoyed it.\"</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne took forty of his paintings to the furniture opening resulting in thousands of views brought in by the television spot and other advertisements. &nbsp;The show lasted a month and during that period Wayne sold three of his works. &nbsp;That ended up being his only show and consequently his only sales. &nbsp;Fifty years of painting and only three sales!</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne’s plans to forever keep his talent private were challenged in 2010 when his son-in-law, Roger Applewhite, saw Wayne’s art. &nbsp;Roger was so taken he told Wayne he really needed to have people see it. &nbsp;He also suggested Wayne come up with something completely new, something marketable.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Analyzing his work, Wayne came up with the concept of \"the loop. &nbsp;\"He realized he’d always used a loop in his art. &nbsp;He decided to create the total facial structure with a loop, executed from a low starting point, looping up to do the nose, the eyes, and then down to do the mouth without stopping. &nbsp;It had to be fluid and had to be accurate. &nbsp;Once completed, he admired the result, what he describes as \"Great; an abstract / modern theme.\" &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">As a preparation for the loop people, Wayne experimented with Band-Aids, using them to form a body on paper, and adding human characteristics.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">\"The object of art is to alter your perspective on how you look at things, sometimes everyday things,\" he explained. &nbsp;\"After that work, I’ll never look at Band-Aids the same way again. &nbsp;I framed the Band-Aid work and that set me on a quest to show how innovative I could develop art with this loop concept.\" &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">His experimentation with loops began to take off with an initial 10 ft. &nbsp;x 20 ft. &nbsp;creation, made on four separate canvasses and now hanging in his son’s home. &nbsp;He progressed from the basic loop format to adding smaller loops to it. &nbsp;His forms developed from simple nude humans to animals, such as a baby pig and a rhino. &nbsp;For this work he used very bright colors, different than his past dark palates. &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">The concept of the loop people became to make everything in it out of loops. &nbsp;This inspired a whole alternate universe, different landscapes and unique forms. &nbsp;Soon he added scenes, volleyball, playing Frisbee with a dog, crab and pier fishing. &nbsp;For the commercial aspect he wanted drawings with a broad appeal; whimsical, lighthearted, and fun. &nbsp;<em>(Figures 10 &amp; 11)</em></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">It’s been a remarkable career for this lifelong artist. &nbsp;From Wayne Rosetti’s first sketches of army boots and painting of a bullfighter, through scores of years learning new styles and techniques, he has finally come full circle to a lighthearted modernism. &nbsp;Or, should we say, full-loop, as his new delightful creations so well show.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Lagniappe</span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Seventy-six-year-old Wayne Rosetti has been painting since the age of twenty, producing more than a thousand remarkable pieces.&nbsp; This exclusive sampling of his life’s work is a must-see, demonstrating his experimentation with multiple styles and media.&nbsp; Inspirations from Van Gogh, Picasso, and Da Vinci, draw attention with their fetching golden colors and demanding images.&nbsp; Religious influences with iconoclastic representations such as \"Animal Kingdom\" from the Bible and \"Holy Man\" mix with African-style sculptures.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Rosetti is experiencing a new wave of creative energy.&nbsp; Encouraged by his son-in-law, Roger Applewhite, Wayne used found objects from Applewhite’s collection for new sculpture designs.&nbsp; Inspired by these new materials, Wayne taught himself to weld on YouTube, crafting yard art.&nbsp; He repurposed old circuit boards bringing them to life as colorful characters, combined scrap metal parts from ship- parts into clever table top sculptures.&nbsp; And, he gave life to the \"Loop People,\" a modern/abstract interpretation based on the concept of a single structured loop.&nbsp; \"The object of art is to alter your perspective on how you look at things, sometimes everyday things,\" Wayne explains.&nbsp; Initially representing people by adding features to single loops, the work progressed to multiple loops of various sizes, from simple nude humans to wild and domesticated animals, including puppies, pigs, and even a rhino.&nbsp; The eye-catching appeal of this work is heightened by the spectrum of imaginative themes displayed in bright contrasting colors.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Wayne Rosetti’s captivating new art theme, the \"Loop People\" will be unveiled November 2 and 3 at the 2013 Peter Anderson Festival in \"Rosetti Park\".&nbsp; Created by Roger and Vicki Applewhite, the large tented area will feature Wayne Rosetti’s captivating new art theme, the \"Loop People.\" In a venue the Applewhites call a \"Muse Market,\" select artists will showcase their work in a venue of live music and a \"portable gallery\" featuring over forty years of never before seen original Wayne Rosetti artwork.&nbsp; This temporary showcase is a prelude to the Rosetti Gallery that is expected to open in Ocean Springs on Cox Avenue in mid 2014. </span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Stay tuned for updates on biloxiartists.com!</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">2021</span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-size:20px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">WAYNE\'S WORLD</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"color:rgb(0, 0, 0)\">As&nbsp;it was one of Helen’s favorite it stayed on our wall.
