“THIS is probably the
Rye, 10 x 10 inches, acrylic on board.
best painting I’ve
done,” he says. “My
friend was a wine
connoisseur and
had a collection of all of these great
labels. The corkscrews are all flea
market finds but the wines are great.”
Seme recalls the encounter-turned-
ski outing with John Denver
many years ago. The two rode on
a chairlift high above the Rocky
Mountains.
“I hope Country Roads is still being
sung and played 100 years from
now,” Denver told him. “People won’t
remember who I was, but they’ll
remember the song and you’re the
same way, Joe. We’re leaving some-thing
behind that’s tangible.”
After selling his first painting for
$40 dollars, he left a handwritten note
thanking the buyer for adding it to
their home.
“I still do that, so many people write
back to me,” he says.
Today, Seme is now receiving notes
from people requesting signed copies
of his book, A Short Season with Ernie.
The memoir is about his grandfather,
former major-leaguer Ernie Padgett.
Seme loves to tell the tales of
others, or how someone else’s story
impacted him to paint, yet he is also
sharing his own tales. One tomato,
growing up the grandson of an MLB
player, even ducks floating in the
marsh are the tangible and hand-written
mementos that will one day
become his 100-year stamp.
