Ben Earl Looney
Ben Earl Looney (June 2, 1904 – May 25, 1981)〔"Noted Minden native dies", ''Minden Press-Herald'', May 29, 1981, p. 1〕 was a Louisiana artist and author known for his ''Water Colors of Dixie'' and ''Cajun Country'', pen and ink sketches of Acadiana.
==Background==
Looney was born in the Yellow Pine community, located south of Sibley, Louisiana, to Julian A. Looney (1871–1958) and the former Mollie McKinney (1872–1932).〔Earlene Mendenhall Lyle, ''The Minden Cemetery: A Pleasant Resting Place'', June 2004, p. 65〕 The community was so named because the original buildings were all constructed in yellow pine timber. Julian and Mollie Looney shared a July 17 birthday but one year apart.
Ben Earl Looney graduated in 1923 from Minden High School in Minden, the seat of government of Webster Parish, where he was known as "Earl". His artistic talent was already apparent, as he was the art editor of the yearbook staff. One of his classmates was Leland G. Mims, a 1921 graduate who was later a small businessman in Minden and a veteran member and president of the Webster Parish Police Jury, the parish governing council.
Looney thereafter attended the Louisiana State University School of Journalism in Baton Rouge, Methodist-affiliated Centenary College in Shreveport, the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C., and the Summer School of Arts in Eastport, Maine. He studied watercolor under George Ennis.
