    A community celebration of Howard "Louie Bluie" Armstrong

    Although his father was steadily employed as an iron furnace worker in LaFollette, Howard's childhood was marked by poverty. Urged by an innate sense of art, by the age of seven Howard was fashioning paint brushes from cat hair (plucked from the tails of unsuspecting cats) and paints made from berries and crepe paper fished out of trash bins, while teaching himself to paint. Ambidextrous, he was quite capable of drawing simultaneously with both hands. He loved bright colors, used them generously in paintings -­‐ later in his personal style of dress -­‐ all his life.
