Description: This delightful folk art painting by artists Virginia Young, dating from the 1990s, is a beautifully crafted piece on a wooden panel that measures 17 inches long, 8.25 inches high, and 1 inch deep. The scene captures the simplicity and charm of rural life, making it an ideal decorative item for those who appreciate Americana and traditional folk art. The hand-painted scene depicts a tranquil country landscape at sunset. In the center, a red-brick farmhouse with white-trimmed windows and a gently smoking chimney stands as the focal point, exuding warmth and comfort. The surrounding garden is lush with flowers, adding vibrant pinks to the palette, which are echoed by the blossoming trees in the foreground. A man drives a horse-drawn carriage along a winding dirt path, accompanied by a playful black dog, while a woman and child walk together toward the house, evoking a sense of homecoming and simple pleasures. Beyond the house, a serene body of water stretches to the horizon, where a solitary sailboat glides under the golden glow of the setting sun. A white lighthouse stands tall near the shore, offering a beacon of safety and guidance, reinforcing the peaceful and idyllic nature of the scene. Dark green pine trees frame the composition, balancing the bright tones of the sky and landscape. Virginia Young’s distinct folk art style shines through in the careful details, from the texture of the trees to the gentle curves of the landscape, all created in vibrant, harmonious colors. Her signature appears on the bottom left corner of the piece, solidifying its authenticity as one of her works. Good vintage condition, some indents, small loses. Please review the photos for further condition assessment. This painting would make a charming addition to any home, especially for those seeking to incorporate rustic or country elements into their decor. It would be perfectly suited for a cozy living room, farmhouse kitchen, or even a cottage-style entryway, where its nostalgic subject matter and warm tones could evoke a sense of peace and simpler times. The wooden panel’s slight depth and textured surface also provide a handcrafted touch, making it a standout piece of wall art that blends craftsmanship with the storytelling charm of folk traditions.
