Yellow House on River, Old Oil on Board Folk Art Painting unusual folk art whimsy and porcupine quills popping out

and porcupine quills popping out everywhere--at an antique shop in Newburyport

and continued drawing and painting

I would most definitely stop and head that way

and the glass plate negatives make for extremely sharp prints

then went on to work as a freelance illustrator

Yellow House on River, Old Oil on Board Folk Art Painting unusual folk art whimsy and porcupine quills popping outSeems to me this is just the sort of house V. L. Davis (owner of the frog box I just listed) might have lived in, setting out from the house along the path that runs to the foreground and, one imagines, far beyond. Not a masterpiece but nicely atmospheric and rather transportive I think and I really like how precisely, crisply painted that yellow house is, with both river and path painted as if leading straight to its front door! 14 3 4" x 11 1 4",
