Museum Auction Presents Seldom Seen Works of my Nave Folk art and Western themes. Fantasy Farm and Morning Sunshine
I am proud to announce that after being invited by the Attleboro Arts Museum in Massachusetts to present two works in their 20th Benefit Auction, that my seldom seen drawing Fantasy Farm was sold to a New England collector. Both the drawing and also a photograph are part of an ongoing series which depict the Western Catskill mountains. As such they are western Americana in theme-which is a drastic contrast to my last completed series of urban street photography. In fact, the image shown

"Fantasy Farm", Ink on Illustration Board, 20x30" Western Catskills

I have 2 con-current emphases in drawings; primarily working in Nave, primitive folk art pastels.. (for which the pre-cursor that launched me into that direction is this B&W large format drawing). My secondary concentration is abstract pastels. Fantasy Farm is an original Folk Art Drawing depicting the Western Catskill and Pocono Mountains. It is ink on illustration board and is in a new frame made of black wood and a black mat with white trim. The subject matter is composed of 15 different landscapes from these two primitive mountain areas. Desirable for collectors of Western, Folk, Nave & Americana. It is signed, titled & dated on verso of mount.
