A Romantic Day by the Pond

Original oil on canvas, artist signed, winter scene in the American folk style.

Images of shakers on pond, New England or Great Plains Farm Life, agricultural vernacular, wonderful color and texture. Even a windmill with horse and sleigh.

Likely 1940s/50s, presented in a wonderful large wooden frame with gilt trim.

28" wide by 24" tall by 2" deep - presents as large and absolutely charming.

Blues, Reds, wonderful yellow ochre, and perfect use of simple black - nicely done. Brings a smile in the Holiday Spirit.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

This has been a Thanksgiving and Christmas piece in our homes for years. We roll it out as the weather turns cooler, and plans turn to smoked turkey and colorful lights. Some years it is over a buffet in the Dining Room, others it has simply stood tall in a side chair surrounded by presents. Either way, it is a winner! Traditional American at its best.
