Hudson Valley Folk Art Painting - Sheridan Loyd Antiques

This stunning oil on cavas Hudson Valley landscape is a real eye-catcher! It is a great piece of Folk Art, done somewhat naively, yet well executed. There is so much going on in this painting. There are two houses on a bank with smoke billowing from their chimneys. There is a woman in a long dress and shawl walking up the lane toward the houses with a man not far behind her. There is a small island with what appears to be two church steeples showing above the tree line. There are numerous sail boats off in the distance around the isle and inlet, one larger boat with a man on board in the forground and a folky sun shining its beams down from the clouds to illuminate it all. The painting is in its original period frame. From a private Kentucky collection. Measuring 36-1/4" by 28-1/4" with a sight measurement of 23-1/2" by 31-1/4". (with scattered touch-ups).
