I'm shocked he is gone ...such talent he had. I feel fortunate I have Heaven's Masterpiece hanging on my wall. It is so beautiful. He will never be forgotten.

So sad that Jesse has passed. We collected many of his works. I met him in Kansas City at an art show. The day he passed I remember distinctly. I will miss him.

My Wife and I met Jesse Barnes while he was painting in a mall in Kansas City in the early 1980s.

1975 Original Oil
Just saw this obituary. I bought one of his original paintings from him at the Battlefield Mall in 1975 for my parent's 20th anniversary. It is now in my home and I love it and cherish having met Jesse so many years ago. He will never be forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear this. I met Jesse when I was a member of the Silver Dollar City Craft Guild at a show in Topeka, KS. He was a very nice man and called me to give me advice about signing with a publisher for my art. I loved his work and was able to finally get a print of the painting I saw him finish, God's Promise.

We are so sorry to learn of Jesse's passing. Gordon and I along with Barbara and Bob Henderson visited with you and Jesse probably about 2007 at your home in Springfield. We will always cherish that time spent with you. May God Bless you always.
