A Colorful Perspective

Robin Gallaher Branch | Photography courtesy of Ken Walker

After a brush with death, Michael Maness has a new attitude and colorful perspective on life and art.

Michael Patrick Maness measures his life by opportunities, cancer, hardships, making money and giving it away, and talent. What predominates is luck. He lives hard and fast.

"I've been incredibly lucky," says Maness, known for his skill, generosity, sense of fun, and grit.

His multiple careers include dancer, writer, and artist - the latter is now dominant. He currently has an exhibit of 40 acrylic paintings at the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis; stars like Janiva Magness, Walter Trout, Bobby Rush, Victor Wainwright, and John Nemeth autographed 25. Averaging 3 x 4.5 feet, the paintings range in price from $300 to $5,000. Those with a written song sell from $10,000 to $30,000. Midtown Framer & Art, another Memphis location, also carries his work.

"I've reinvented myself three times," Maness, 61, says. "My job now is watching the paint dry and caring for my mom." He has been her primary caregiver for 10 years. Known to all as Miss Evelyn or Mom, she suffered multiple strokes, has dementia, and accompanies her son almost everywhere with her walker.

Maness received the Keeping the Blues Alive Award from the International Blues Foundation in 2010. His classic acrylic of Glen Campbell shows the recording icon atop a rearing stallion. It sold for $50,000. The money went to the Alzheimer's Foundation, Maness says.

"My mother doesn't remember the ceremony," he chuckles. "What she remembers is 'that nice man,' Glen Campbell, who wheeled her around the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville and sang to her."

Maness has been painting since fourth grade. He prefers Sharpies and acrylics to oils because of speed; an oil dries in six weeks. "I can easily do 45 acrylics in that time. If I worked in oil, they'd stick together," he says with a laugh.

Fighting lymphoma for 16 years changed him. Although he used to paint in black and white, he now splashes his canvasses with brightness. While undergoing chemo, he found that dark colors made him angry, paranoid, and violent, but vibrant yellows, reds, and oranges brought him smiles. He shades and shadows in cobalt blue.

He describes his studio in Southaven, Mississippi, as "a mess". It contains a La-Z-Boy couch and ongoing projects. He often paints in a darkened room and breaks to watch a musical with his mother. One painting may take 30 hours.

Luck includes good mentoring. As a cartoonist, he was mentored by Jeff MacNelly, the Richmond News Leader's Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, and Mad magazine's Jack Davis. He graduated in 1979 from Virginia Commonwealth University with an advertising and marketing degree.

Before cancer struck, he danced in television's Dancin' USA and Broadway shows like The King and I with Yul Bryner. Gene Kelly taught him. Even with chemo's revenge of arthritis, he can still do Kelly's signature sailors kick, a heel-to-heel snap on both sides.

He's written and illustrated 23 children's books. One about a little mermaid served as a good promotional for visitors to Weeki Wachee, Florida. Writing in rhyme and illustrating in color, he repurposed that memorable tale.

Hardship marks his life. At age eight, he was hit by a car and in a body cast for a year. Maness stuttered as a child but overcame it by acting in plays. In 2005, he lost many paintings in Katrina. He endured a very painful stem cell transplant and was in hospital isolation for two years. Chemo affected his memory; he's still paying medical bills.

"But I've been cancer-free for six years!" he rejoices.

Maness is generous. His donated art has raised $6 million over 20 years for 150 charities worldwide, he estimates.

It hangs all over Memphis in places like the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Racquet Club, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Mid-South Food Bank. He even has a school named after him in Mahahual, Mexico. Why is that? It's because he donates art at a dock with the stipulation that the proceeds go to the nearby town.

Maness enjoys life. To celebrate being chemo free, he and friends take twice-yearly cruises. Good times roll. They call themselves PUPPI's- the Professional Union of Perverted Pirates International. Ship's officers - like the captain and purser - regularly join their table, certain of fun and welcome, Maness grins.

PUPPI's Les and Lee Yancey, cattle ranchers in Oakland, Tennessee, have cruised. "Michael's hilarious," Les says, adding she thinks she owns more Maness paintings than anybody in the world.

Memphis photographer Ken Walker works with Maness on many projects. "Some of his paintings of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan come from my photos," Walker says.

Carol Jones, a friend Maness trusts to care for his mother, says this: "If he promises you something like a painting, you can bet the ranch on it. He'll do it. His word is his bond."

Describing himself as "a creative," Maness says, "I have a God-given talent. I love to give it away. I wish I didn't have to charge for my paintings, but I need the money to live and to take care of my mom." Then, smiling, he adds, "I'm Peter Pan. You can't be sad and look at my art."

March 12, 2017 - TODAY March 12, 2017 will be the Celebration of my 5 Years in Remission from my Cancers. Sorry, but I thought I would BRAG a little.

February 17, 2017 - Even though my Birthday is February 24, due to amazing circumstances, I will be out of town. The PUPPI's have decided to throw me a "60th" Birthday Bash on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at Purple Haze. Purple Haze is across the street from the Gibson Guitar Factory. The Party begins at 7 PM. It will be a Party.

December 6, 2016 - New show recently announced!  Be sure to visit Mike for Music, Free Beverages, Food, and over 50 New Paintings!  The show is on THURSDAY, December 15 from 6-9pm at Midtown Framers - 1523 Union in Memphis.

October 24, 2016 - A Gibson Guitar Town honor:  Mike was asked 

along with 19 other Mid-South Artists to paint BIG 10 foot tall Gibson Guitars for what Gibson is calling "Memphis Guitar Town."

Mike chose to honor his friend and Memphis / Rock and Roll / Songwriting Hall of Famer / Stax and Guitar Great / Music Legend, Steve Cropper, of Booker T and the MG's and Blues Brother's fame.

Mike had help. His friends Carol Jones, and Richard Stanley helped him paint, carry, and position the BIG Guitar for painting. Steve Cropper also agreed to pen a couple of his famous song Lyrics on the Guitar. The combination of work from Mike and his Friends was magic. Gibson will initiate Memphis as a Guitar Town November 2016.  See the progress of the guitar below.

October 15, 2016 - Another month brings more paintings!  Some absolute beauties in this update.  See anything you like?  Mike can paint you anything!

50 BAD DAYS

On Memorial Day, my MOM went to the restroom and lost a quart of blood. It was called a GI Bleed. It took 5 procedures and a colonoscopy to fix it. We spent 10 days on and off from the ICU.

During this Hospital Stay, being away from Home, we had a plumbing leak that destroyed 4 rooms, a Hallway, and a Staircase. So we had NO place to live while the home was being fixed. Being avid Casino patrons we were able to stay in the casino's for 12 days, completely comped.

During those twelve days my MOM started going down hill. By day 12 her Blood count was 22, and we checked back into the ER at Baptist Desoto Hospital. Also during this time I argued with the Insurance company, it took 15 days till they settled. While in the Casino's and the 17 day stay in Baptist it took the construction crew 26 days to fix my house. Now during this 17 day stay, MOM had a transfusion, and she did well. The next day MOM went into Respiratory Distress. The Doctors told me to call Family and Friends to come and pay their last respects to my MOM.

She didn't die, but we went back to the ICU. We visited the ICU 3 times during this Stay. Seventeen days later I brought my overly Demintia'd MOM back home. I had cousins clean the house, and dump everything not needed. I rearranged her room, bought her a new mattress, and a Stair Lift inclinator for the Stairs. Also during this time I have NOT worked and lost thousands in commissions. So now you might understand why this has been the worst 50 days of my Life.

March 30, 2016 - I will be coming to Nashville April 5, to be part of a Grand Event. My Friend and Music Legend Steve Cropper, and I will be autographing my Cropper lithographs and Giclees at Devine ART Cafe.

In the background you may notice many of my original paintings, and prints; all of which will be for sale. I also have the great honor of introducing a new Star on the ART world Horizon, Andrea Cropper. Her originals and prints will also be available.

There will also be Food, Beverages, Cigars, and a Silent Auction. Please come by and say, "Hi!"  In short, it's a party on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm at Devine ART Cafe 604 Gallatin Ave # 109.

I want to thank my friends...
Ric Eller, Angel Cropper, and Kathy Dozier, for putting this together. And, thank you Paula Hock and Devine ART Cafe for inviting me.

Check out previews of some of the ART available below... :)

February 24, 2016 - Wednesday I will begin my 59th Tour around the Sun.  So to Celebrate I'm having an ART SHOW, with an Open Bar for FUN.  There will be around 20 New Original Paintings, MOM, and Me.  So come by Playhouse on the Square, between 5-6:30 PM and see.  The Dinner part of the evening will be at Mr. B's Steak House beginning around 8 PM.  - Mike

January 8, 2016 - My next ART display will be at Playhouse on the Square from January 15 - February 25, with the ART SHOW Party and my Birthday Colliding on Wednesday February 24, from 5-6:30 PM then moving onto Mr. B's for a Steak Dinner beginning around 8 PM. All NEW ART, kinda the same drinks, and maybe some music as well.

December 31, 2015 - Last blast of ART for 2015... Plenty to come for next year, so stay tuned... :)
