View from Shore with Sailboat, Old Folk Art Painted Conk ceramic apple forming a sort of puppyI think this is a great example of a folk art painted mushroom conk, including for the fact that this particular conk is very sculptural and really quite beautiful, making it an excellent object that also bears a great little painting! The depth of color on the painting is terrific, with a rich patina too feels like a warm and very atmospheric fall afternoon water view, sailboat on the horizon. Lovely. 5" w x 4" t x 5 3 4" d, excellent condition,
