[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 9439357, member: 16283"]Was prowling yesterday & a little piece caught my eye-it's a small acrylic on board by a fairly well-known artist by the name of L.B. Porter.I'm not a devoted fan of Western Art,but at $40,the price was right. Mr. Porter's more expensive pieces portray semi-nude NA & Latina women and cowboys.But this quirky little piece seemed at the price worth gambling on. Size-10" x 10" image size,18" x 18" outside frame size. Can't find any subject's online like this old house,so i think i'll have to contact his dealer. Check out his other works,fine design sense & a very sure hand-a real pro.I unfortunately can't mail L.B.,he passed in 2021. P.S.-That's not a mat board surrounding the painting.He painted the mat color,gold leaf edge and image all on one surface-there's previous examples.The frame's a ready-made from Brazil,some of his 5K-15K pieces have 'off the shelf' frames stamped 'Mexico' (he was a 'Depression Baby' like my folks;).
