Everything Ken Burns touches is gold, I expect this to be no less outstanding than any of his other works.

I watched the video clip.

Plant care can be self-care. Taking care of plants does not have to be stressful. In fact, caring for plants can help us deal with all the stress in this crazy world

Classic story of a great artist. Spending their life creating amazing work based on their experiences and then passing away before being fully acknowledged. He sounds prolific! So many works. 

Thank you for posting this! I love his work. I hate it when people refer to work like this as “outsider art”, because you can tell he was a creative person unable to express himself until his 80s (not to mention the implied racism/classism/elitism).
