19th C Oil on Canvas - Strawberries - Naive - Folk Art - Still Life

This winsome Folk Art painting brings the luscious profusion of berry season to life in a splash of bright reds and greens. The naive rendering is evocative of a simpler time, and displays an honest sensuality, bringing to mind sweet memories of the sun peeking out to warm the fresh morning dew, and the industrious buzzing of the first bumble bees of the day. Berries and cream can't be far behind.

Condition is very good. The frame is 'vintage', but not original to this 19th C piece, and has a bit of loss to one corner. The painting is in fine shape, with an overall craquelure. There is one tiny overpaint and a pinhead size flake in the green grass, but I've had this for some time and never noticed it until I photographed it. Measures 17" x 19 1/4" overall, and the sight size is 10 1/2" x 13 3/4".

This is the kind of piece that will 'make' a space. The color is bright and beautiful, and the innocent execution is perfect for this simple, wholesome subject. It speaks directly with no pretense, whispering "Yum, strawberries!." Just delightful.
