Description
This painting is such an outsider art delight. It was next to impossible to put into words (note the completely wonky listing description!) & I'm still at a loss when it comes to fully figuring out what's going on with itbut I love its bright colors, varying textures & patterns, & general unpredictability. This painting looks like acrylic paint (some of it thinned) as well as paint marker or permanent marker on a 10" by 8" canvas panel. The surface has spots of unusual thickness to it, meaning there are either many thick layers of paint beneath the surface or an entirely different original painting beneath this one. The painting is in decent condition overall but it does have some noticeable flaws: errant paint speckles & streaks, tiny pieces of dried paint & paintbrush bristles caught up in the surface, previous paint layers & textures that show through the uppermost layer, tiny bubbles in the paint (some of them popped), scrapes & smudges made in the wet paint (which may or may not be intentional), & tiny chips of missing paint. The painting has a finish that ranges from satin to glossy because of the different finishes of the paint colors. The carved wooden frame is covered in a metallic gold paint. The frame is in decent condition but it does read a bit as "shabby chic" because of its prominent wood grain pattern that shows through the paint, small dents & superficial scratches, little bits of dried paint or dust caught up in parts of the paint, prominent small staples at the outer corners, & extra wear at the outer corners. The frame increases the overall dimensions to 11 7/16" by 9 1/2". I tried to capture the painting in as many light conditions as possible so you can see how its appearance varies based on the lighting. The painting can appear much more cool & bolder or warm & softer depending on the lighting & surrounding decor colors. Make sure you eye the photos closely & are okay with the overall condition before purchasing. Note that because the finish is glossier than average, this painting should optimally be displayed where it doesn't strongly catch bright artificial or natural light (which will create an unpleasant glare), so be prepared to have flexibility with where you place it for maximum impact.
