It is hard to say with absolute certainty which of the hundreds of paintings at Velveteria, Los Angeles' velvet painting museum, are the most strangely sublime. It's not your average loaded-with-artspeak, whisper-in-the galleries kind of museum. Tucked into an old storefront on New High Street in Chinatown, this 1 1/2-year old repository of folk art weirdness is the brainchild of Los Angeles native Carl Baldwin and his partner, Caren Anderson — a paean to an art form that Baldwin says "just doesn't get any respect."
