Fine Mary Greene Folk Art Painting 1987
Description
Fine Mary Greene (1929-2015) Born in Homer to the daughter of a sharecropper Mother Ruby Mae Brock & Father William Brock Sr. Georgia. Folk Art Painting Circa 1987 Titled "October Preparation". Mary was a fantastic self taught southern folk artist, this oil painting of a Fall North Georgia Farm scene that shows her wealth of knowledge of the simple but plain North Georgia farm life during her childhood. This is a stellar example with highly detailed farm life with apple picking, butter churning, and simple but practical farm life duties. Notice the detailed quilts that are very detailed and all the way down to the bushels of corn going to market. This is a museum grade folk art painting and is sure to make a welcomed addition in any folk art collection. Condition is outstanding, these hung in the local Gainesville Georgia Bank since they were purchased. Her works have also made welcomed additions to collections such as President Jimmy Carter, also the Late Senator Ted Kennedy. Size-Canvas 24" x 36"
