Folk Art Portrait of “STOKES”

Possibly the sweetest, most endearing thing I’ve found over the last few months of picking – this folk art portrait of a dapper looking terrier named “Stokes.”

It’s clear that this pup was highly regarded given the original and over the top frame his owner selected for him… something any pet owner would likely do if given the choice, but still.

Beneath the pebble-textured mat is an inscription that reads “This is a dog.”

Watercolor and chalk pastel on paper mounted to an 8 x 10 inch board.

A glassine sheet has been inserted between the original mat and artwork.
