Old painting of Spanish moss hangng off branches of a tree over an atmospheric creek or swamp, dark palmetto type vegetation at left and sub tropical forest thickets at right, 16" by 24", and 1 3/4" worn old frame, unsigned. This is an old work, semi-primitive in style; the artist handled the luminous Hudson River type light very well, as well as the contrast between the thicket and the right half of the composition. If one studies the work carefully, several egrets are noted, at the little "point" sticking in to the creek, and on the little "island" at right. The painting needs to be cleaned and varnished, as well as a new frame or sanding of the present one, and repair of two punctures of about 3/4" each and a few other minor abraded areas. Vintage art of Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina and the remainder of the American South is bringing high sums at auction, and even primitive works have become quite collectable.
