USA, ca. early 20th century. Two charming paintings of yellow houses that grabbed our attention for different reasons. The smaller, unframed oil on board probably dates to the early 1900s - maybe even the late 1800s. Folky and atmospheric, one can imagine approaching this little camp on a warm summer day. Lemonade and cold chicken in the ice box. The second framed oil on board painting, while a bit more stately in its architecture, has a supremely appealing naiveté to it. Clearly someone cherished this home and wished to protect the memory of it - as if that little white picket fence would stand duty forever. Both in overall very good antique condition. Unsigned. Quite sweet and soulful.
