Large Blue Figural Flying Angel Cat Stars Moon Folk Art Painting Signed Miles


 

This one-of-a-kind painting by artist Miles features a beautiful blue angel kitty cat flying amid a celestial scene of stars and a crescent moon. The large size of the painting makes it a great statement piece for any room. The painting is signed by the artist and is an original acrylic painting on composite board. The whimsical folk art style of the painting adds to its unique charm, and the handmade nature of the piece ensures that no two are exactly alike. This painting would make a great addition to any collection, and its boho vibe and angelic theme make it a perfect gift for any cat lover. 

It has a hole in the wing to hang.

Vtg Folk Art 1960s 26” Matchstick crucifix lamp cross


 

This is just an amazing piece of folk art!
Standing 26 inches tall by 22 inches wide by 10 inches deep, this matchstick crucifix actually has light sockets at the four different points of the cross. The maker set it up for Christmas tree lights and I added the bubble light to the bottom. Judging by the protective piece of rug remnant that’s been glued to the bottom, and the applied silver plastic crucifix, I would guess that it was likely made during the 1960s.
Suitable for a home shrine or religious decoration, it is in very good vintage condition, although some of the match sticks may be chipped on the end points. A super unusual item!

SOLD! Day of the Dead Doorway Mirror Signed Folk Art





Constructed of wood, (pine I think) paint, and mirrors this Day of the Dead mirror doorway altar is signed by the artist “Thorp 93“ on the back.
Purchased from a local estate it stands approximately 1 foot tall, 8 inches wide and 3 inches deep. Unboxed it weighs 2 lbs. 7oz.
The doors opening up to a mirror that reflects the swirls on the inside is pretty cool. I also like the two little bozo skulls that are hanging over the doorway. (it’s what they look like, anyway)
It’s an interesting folk art item.

$45
