Every family has someone whose portrait quietly watched over the living room for decades. Long after the stories faded and the names became harder to remember, the painting remained-its subject forever frozen in the dignity of another generation. This original portrait is one of those rare survivors. Painted in what appears to be oil on artist board and signed D. O’Bella Savage, it captures Wilma Snethen seated in a deep green dress with the calm confidence and reserved elegance so often seen in mid-century American portraiture. The warm palette, simple composition, and honest brushwork give it the unmistakable charm of regional folk art. Even more compelling is the history that accompanies it. The handwritten inscription on the reverse identifies the sitter as Wilma Snethen, noting she was the great aunt of the family from whom this painting was acquired. According to the family, it descended from Maude Gulker’s collection, preserving a direct family connection through generations. Research suggests Wilma Snethen later lived in Oklahoma, adding another piece to the story behind this remarkable portrait. Measuring approximately 17.5″ x 20.5″ including the original frame, this is more than a decorative painting-it’s a genuine piece of one family’s history, ready to begin the next chapter in another home. I’ve affectionately nicknamed the piece “Wilma from Oklahoma”. Material: Oil on board. Condition: Vintage pre-owned – signs of wear (see photos).

35 x 31″ frame, 26″ x 29 1/2 painting. This vintage oil painting is by Geraldine D. Acker of Poughkeepsie NY. Who only used initials to sign her paintings. This painting and several others were in her friend’s estate. THIS PAINTING has only Geraldine’s initials. The paper label was on another painting; I show it because of the connection to this one. This one features a unique Americana folk art style. The oil painting is filled with vignette scenes of Americana. The charm and nostalgia of this artwork will relax and entertain you for decades.
