(others liked it as well)... The painting is quite old but not dated.... A sweet impressionistic stream flowing through a valley..... A fall / autumn scene , so it may represent the famous brown county harvest time paintings. The letters alternate in height , each one is up or down.....
The painting was done on canvas , but at some point , the painting was re-framed and the canvass was put over a piece of wood........ The larger frame was from ohio.....
There is a brief message in appreciation of your contribution to our golden wedding celebration oct 8 - 1960..... The anniversary back in 1960 might have been when they re-framed the canvas.... Or it may be older than that...... The art itself is certainly older than 1960.. The canvas is 24 inches by 14 inches......
Then the wooden matt adds another 2 inches.... Then the frame makes the overall measurement 32 inches by 22 inches..... The painting has some tiny drying cracks that are hard to see......I only mention it for accuracy.... The art condition is really in fine shape.....
I could go on about the subject matter , but some will like it a lot , and it will not be another's cup of tea..... It is old , but not primitive....... Outdoors , but not a spring or winter scene.... No animal figures or children....... Just a peaceful almost folk art innocence...... Thank you for taking the time to search out this listing........
