Patriotic Antique Crayon Drawing with American Flag, Shield and Potted Plants handmade picture frame with a bit of rippling

with a bit of rippling to the linen

I've learned that it was made by Lionel Electric Trains

this planter is pure elegance

and I think quite a charming one

combining specific attention to the structures and every little window with a painterly wash of blue then orange then pink sky

Patriotic Antique Crayon Drawing with American Flag, Shield and Potted Plants handmade picture frame with a bit of ripplingReally a sweet one, which I purchased from a seller in New Hampshire, who I believe acquired it from a notable Pennsylvania collection of naive drawings sold off some years ago.

And then an all green tree at upper left, as one thinks they just really liked to draw branches as well as stars, for sure! 7 1 8" t x 4
