Delbert "Sleepy" Read Artist



'Sleepy'  Read at work

      

'Sleepy' is a Johnson County, Texas artist near 90 who still paints six days a week. He is mainly self-taught but still occasionally takes classes to improve his technique. He has a small gallery located in Cleburne, Texas at the Wright Place located at 115 South Main.  "Sleepy" especially likes abstracts but also does bluebonnets, landscapes, westerns etc. He has painted murals in several school cafeterias. He can be found painting in the gallery most every day except Saturdays. I will be posting some of “Sleepy’s” original oil paintings on our web page. They are “one of a kind” pictures that will be a great addition to your art collection. When asked why his work was selling so well now he replied, “They think my work will become more valuable after I’m gone”, he laughed. To see his work go to our web at http://www.texasartmart.com/.  Watch for more to be added each week.
