Original Oil on Canvas Naive Folk Art Texas Highway 71 Roadside BBQ Stand
An awesome naive folk art painting that captures a bit of Texas roadside Americana with its depiction of Peter’s Barbeque in Ellinger, Texas, which is a regular stop for many people travelling Highway 71 while on the way between Austin from Houston. It’s a popular and iconic eatery to this day. This painting captures it as it looked a few decades ago (although it hasn’t changed much)! The artist, Sandra Winkler, portrays this iconic landmark in her own unique style showing the view from the side of Highway 71. It is is a one-of-a-kind piece and painted on canvas, and framed in a vintage wooden frame. The small size and framed presentation make it a perfect addition to any Texana or Americana collection, or for someone from Houston or Austin that knows and loves the little roadside pit stop of Ellinger. Signed by the artist, this original painting is a contemporary piece produced in the 1980s. The subject matter includes “famous places, city life, architecture, food and drink, and towns”, all of which are beautifully combined in this great little folk art painting. Canvas size: 11×14 inchesOverall Dimensions: 16 x 19 inches. The last pic is a photo of the actual restaurant.
