I bought this painting years ago at an estate sale of an outsider and folk art collector in Austin. He had some incredible pieces by some of the big names in outsider art including Mose Tolliver, Howard Finster, Jimmie Lee Sudduth etc. Most of the art was very colorful but this painting caught my eye because of its muted, moody tones. The person having the sale said it was supposed to be a ghost in a cemetery, and next to the figure there’s a representation of a weeping willow, a symbol of mourning. There’s also what appears to be tombstones on the rolling hills. Done in a naïve, primitive style, this painting emotes a somber and introspective feeling. The painting was done on a board, and has no markings except the name Peter on the back. I couldn’t find out who the artist was with only the first name to go on. SIZE: 24″ by 26″.
