Old Folk Art Oil on Canvas Painting of Intrepid Figure and Dog in Snow carved nutcracker 1950s brass alphabet stencilsReally a sweet little painting. I imagine the figure is an old doctor, carrying large medicine bag in one hand and cane in the other, carefully making his way through the snow with trusty dog companion at his side, on the way to a house call. Or perhaps returning home after a long day of visits. Either way, I like to imagine it is cozy and warm inside, or soon will be, and he and his dog will snuggle up together next to a fire! 12" x 9" x 7 8". Oil on
