adding to its modern feel

and both earthy and refined

A few small edge chips here and there and a little a little greening to the brass pins

Fish Among Rocks, Edwin Stetson's Old Carved and Painted Folk Art Plaque parlour game adding to its modern feelThis one was proudly signed by Edwin Stetson on reverse, which includes another drawing of a fish, and then another "Ed" for good measure. I think it's just terrific, very naive and also transcendent, with shallow relief carving giving a bit of dimension to the fish and chunky rocks below. I love the patch of white at top, distinguishing sea from sky, and the painterly treatment of this great green and yellow fish against deep blue. 6 1 8" x 4" x 3
