Oil painting on canvas, handmade frame. Over all framed dimensions approx. Signed on the front. To see my other auctions and links here on m e. I don’t have corporate or institutional ambitions. I use recycled materials where possible and try to make durable pieces rather than consumer items. The work is drawn from my roots (anglo saxon /celtic-canadian), interests (mythology, folk-lore, traditional craft), and whims? What appeals to me is genuine emotion from any source. Welcome, primitive visionary, raw kitsch, naive brut and unschooled anonymous. I’m an outsider to the academic, insider to the cosmic joke. There is a place with me for the sentimental, the decorative and the humorous.

IMPORTANT CANADIAN FOLK ART PAINTING DONALDA FARM TORONTO SIGNED ANDRES. This is a very significant piece of Canadian History. It is an early image of the DONALDA farm outside of Toronto. It is signed M. Andres, and is likely a romanticized interpretation of the fabled farm. Even though the gate in the forefront says Alda Farm, its identity has been supported by the Donalda Country Club, and a member of the Dunlap Family, who not only built the farm, but paid for the Dunlap Observatory seen as a stylized domed building at the top center of the image. The farm was famous for its prized cattle, produce, and exceptional Rose Gardens. The figure in the carriage is likely Mrs. Jessie Donalda Dunlap, who financed the observatory after her husband David’s death in 1924 This picture was probably executed in the early 1930s prior to the observatory’s completion in 1936. The painting is executed on tin and is housed in a gilt wood frame. Dimensions With frame: 31.75″ wide x 19.5″ tall. Without frame: 28″ wide x 15 7/8″ tall. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “huntandpeckauctions” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

Canadian Folk Art Vintage 1940 Oil on Board Winter Landscape Signed Bernice Nash. Up for sale is Canadian vintage 1940 original oil on board painting. This wonderful and atmospheric winter landscape created by well skilled and talented artist. It is signed from what I can make out “Bernice R Nash”. I’m listing it as a Folk Art piece since I wasn’t able to find the artist being listed in any databases, but it rather evident that the artist most likely had some formal training. The painting itself is measuring about 7 1/4 (18.5 cm) by 8 1/4 (21 cm), and the frame is measuring 9 1/2″ (24 cm) by 10 1/2″ (27 cm). This period piece of Canadiana would be a very sound investment, great addition to any collection or a fine decorative piece. Please note that most of the items we sell are vintage or antique, and therefore they have some imperfections due to age, wear, etc. Anything I consider significant I would mention in the description. Also please note that we deal in fine art, we are not a framing business. We examine carefully the paintings and report any issues detected, but the frames we get them in come along just as complementary, in as found or as is condition. We take great care in packing the items to make sure they arrive safely, and all of our items are fully insured. Canadian residents please add 5% GST or 12-15% HST where applicable.
