This is a beautiful and very rare original oil painting by the prolific and charming Santa Barbara folk artist Flavia Weedn. The painting is in flawless undamaged condition, the paint is vibrant and has no cracks or blemishes. This painting is ready to be displayed as soon as you receive it. This is an authentic one-of-a-kind original painting, created specifically to hang in the Disneyland Resort Hotel in Anaheim California, the only Disney theme park to be designed under direct supervision of Walt Disney himself in 1955 (Walt and Roy Disney were both fans and owners of her work). There are no known copies or prints of this painting to my knowledge, which makes this a truly unique piece of both Disney and folk art history. You will likely never see this piece anywhere else. It has the original artist’s sticker with the name and location of the resort on the back. It is signed and dated April 9th, 1968. Flavia Weedn was a well known folk-style artist who was most popular in the 60’s and 70’s, but was prolific throughout her life as an artist. She wrote over 75 books, created illustrations, paintings, even a stage play. As prolific as she was, her original pieces are hard to find and widely sought after. Her picture frames were custom made for each individual piece by her husband, Jack Weedn. This piece is no exception, his handiwork is clearly evident. Being nearly 50 years old, there are some small scrapes and fade spots on the frame, but it is otherwise in beautiful shape. Canvas measures: 11.5h x 9.5w Frame measures: 19h x 16w.
