We like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Currently are working on our 2011 line of African american folk art dolls. As soon as they are ready I will post picture of them on our blog. In addition, some will be for sale on our main website at http://www.greenstreetcompanyfolkart.com/ or at http://www.greenstreetfolkart.etsy.com/.
As always you can catch up with us at our folk art shows along theUS East Coast. In the meantime, I thought it would be nice to post some of our favorite art work from seasons past, which were inspired by artists, events and people, or literary works. As 2011 approaches we should all think about what inspires us as a means to create!
Grant Wood's American Gothic painting is probably one of the best known Americana paintings. The Green Street Company offers our own unique interpretation of this famous painting.
This charming folk art print pays homage to children’s Appolinia’s Valentine, written in 1954 by Katherine Milhous. The original story tells of Appolonia and Dan who went to a one-room school in Pennsylvania. It is the story of the children who went to the school and had fun there. This beautiful print will make an excellent addition to a children’s room. It also makes a great gift for lovers of children’s books and American folk art collectors.
This mixed media painting, entitled Buffalo Soldiers, is an original contemporary folk art piece by Michelle L. Edwards. It pays tribute to the Buffalo Soldiers. Buffalo Soldier originally were members of the U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, formed on September 21, 1866 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
