Lot 762
Folk Art Scenes. Lot of three oil paintings in varying conditions. Although the third piece is a bit more polished, the other two are wonderful examples of the folk art aesthetic which continues to be popular. All of the paintings could do with a cleaning, but their general condition is good to very good.
The first piece, oil on masonite (15 x 12"), is most in need of a cleaning but is presentable without it and very charming. Labeled on the back "June 1951 / Sunday on the Lake", the subject belies the date as a people skate merrily across a frozen lake in a snowy landscape. Signed "L Sinnicks". A few pea-sized area of paint loss.The varnish has yellowed and the piece would be easily re-framed.
Our second piece, oil on canvas (20 x 16"), would benefit from a minor cleaning but is currently suitable for display. A winter landscape with wagon and animal tracks leading to a red barn and the artist has done a wonderful job of capturing the odd colors snow reflects into the sky. Signed "Latimer".
The third selection, oil on canvas (12 x 24"), has a slightly more modern, finished look to it. Another winter rural scene, with a figure near an outbuilding, this painting is in a dark wood frame (27 x 15") perfectly suited to the scene. Signed but illegible.
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
