SOLD Favorite Conk Painting Ever: New England Salt Box with Painterly Sky on Gold Painted Base teuila fortune telling cards on the reverseI really never have seen such a charmer of a painting on a tree conk (fungus) before, and this a quintessentially New England one, too, depicting a terrific little salt box house, the likes of which one sees all around these parts. With incising outlining the house and road alongside it, a nice thick application of paint on the dark gray house and deep green lawn, and a super painterly sky striated with blue and pink and white and cream and yellow.
