Yellow House on River, Old Oil on Board Folk Art Painting wrapped bark box What a feat of painstaking

What a  feat of painstaking labor and craftsmanship

the Alice Nanogak drawings in the book are the next best thing

or maybe just their own masterpieces

but the box itself

There are a couple of small marks on the lid that make me believe there was once another handle on the top

Yellow House on River, Old Oil on Board Folk Art Painting wrapped bark box What a feat of painstakingSeems to me this is just the sort of house V. L. Davis (owner of the frog box I just listed) might have lived in, setting out from the house along the path that runs to the foreground and, one imagines, far beyond. Not a masterpiece but nicely atmospheric and rather transportive I think and I really like how precisely, crisply painted that yellow house is, with both river and path painted as if leading straight to its front door! 14 3 4" x 11 1 4",
