!["Whatever pops in my mind, I paint it. When I first started, my painting was mostly about Hickory Hill where my mother's family lived. And as I grew up, I started doing Civil Rights events and everyday farming and street life. So I don't have just one thing I paint. I paint by memories and by things that I see in my mind. I have one that I do all the time, and that is one I call Mama Bell. My mother would take in laundry from families. She would have a basket that she'd carry on her head, with those clothes in it. She'd always manage that clothes basket on her head, and I don't know how she did. That's one of my favorite paintings that I do."](http://fast.clickbooq.com/f624ef-326/simsbernice-lgthumb.jpg)

!["We stick to a lot of really archaic ideas based on our Southernness. We allow our Southernness to limit us. I think that thinking of yourself as a Southern writer or a 'Southern' anything is limiting. I think it's a trap, especially when you are talking about the way people think and the way they write."](http://fast.clickbooq.com/19db2a-326/earlesteve-lgthumb.jpg)
