Wolf Chasing Deer in Forest, Old Folk Art Painting on Wood Panel Native American ceramics This one was done on

This one was done on ruled paper in graphite and crayon and is really good for many reasons

plus an extra cup (without handle) and plate--perfect for sugar cubes and cookies to serve along with coffee

The faces on these children just kill me

The iron is rusty and will flake a bit when handled

Wolf Chasing Deer in Forest, Old Folk Art Painting on Wood Panel Native American ceramics This one was done onThis is one of a pair of paintings I found together yesterday in Maine, clearly done by the same person and I think equally terrific. (The other is a little larger.) I assume it is a wolf chasing these two deer, both of whom show a bit of red paint on their front legs, whether documenting or foreshadowing their fate I am not sure, but certainly lending a sense of urgency and vulnerability. I love the use of white paint outlining their lower bodies,
