My family loves double amputee artist Chuck Dickerson. He is very popular in our community for not only the beauty he creates but also for the beauty of his heart. This is a kind, gentle, and patient man. He brings joy and inspiration and is an asset to our community. He was banned from our local Walmart after a grinch complained about him "loitering." The petition below is to get Walmart to allow him back. Meanwhile, our local Chickfila is letting Chuck paint there. In Gloucester, he is also often at the Stagecoach Fleamarket.

Articles and Video on Chuck:
Oh, and he studied with Bob Ross. THE Bob Ross of the “happy little trees,” the famous landscape artist and television host who died in 1995. Years before, Dickerson was in Richmond at a doctor’s appointment when he heard Ross was doing a seminar at a nearby hotel. https://www.thehealthjournals.com/tracking-an-elusive-artist/
