SOLD Antique Folk Art Oil on Canvas with Shored Boat and Disappearing Sky ink drawing with collage and I can just imagine

and I can just imagine him trying to sell someone something with his cigarette all the while dangling from his mouth

they were mounted to board and framed--each one different

so easy to stick in the lawn for Halloween

I  know that this sign was salvaged from a factory in Indianapolis prior to demolition

but also terrific used as a serving plate

SOLD Antique Folk Art Oil on Canvas with Shored Boat and Disappearing Sky ink drawing with collage and I can just imagineQuite poetic I think, the way the sky here has chipped away, exposing the canvas beneath and in so doing pointing to the fiction inherent in all representation. Just right for an image of a docked, or washed up, row boat too, with human nowhere in view; time passes, trees fall, people and things disappear. 10" x 8" . Paint loss as evident but quite stable, no more chipping and otherwise in lovely condition. Late 19th c. I believe. Lovely.
