Recently we have developed a taste for folk art. This is a simple, almost one dimensional, primitive artwork, that usually depicts rural settings. We enjoy searching for this type of art. So far we have limited our collection to prints. But these are somewhat difficult to find, at least within our budget. We like to shop thrift stores. That is the best place to find a bargain. Also, as was the case in the above piece, we like to find bargains at rummage sales. Usually these rummage sales serve two purposes. We find a bargain and the sale benefits a worthy cause. It is surprising that we don't come across more of this folk art. We are puzzled by it's scarcity. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. Whatever the reason for the rarity, we find this form of art very peaceful and pleasing. Just wanted to share our pleasure with you.
