Humorous Folk Art Painting

D224

Click main image above to enlarge.

Fun folk art oil painting on artist’s board. Wonderful subject matter. A young lad, having just left the dreaded dentist, has decided to voice his contrary opinion with some well worded graffiti below the ironically titled sign that advertises, “DR. PULLEM/ PAINLESS DENTIST.” At the boy’s feet sits a dog, eagerly awaiting some attention, while another smaller pooch ambles by. Great composition and humor to the scene. A cool and unique piece discovered in Fort Smith, Arkansas at a local estate sale.

Please note that the frame is not very old.

 

Date: 1920’s.

 

Size: Painting is 17″  x  13 3/4″. Frame is 18 3/4″  x  15 1/2″.
