Vintage Folk Art Penguin, Signed H. Sloan, Maine funny a well known Woburn

a well known Woburn

this one constructed of beautiful heavyweight white linen

I don't know a ton about the history of photography

I really really love the how the face on this carving is not at all what one might expect based on the rest of her

5" inches and in great vintage condition

Vintage Folk Art Penguin, Signed H. Sloan, Maine funny a well known WoburnThis is one of six carved and painted birds I found together, all signed H. Sloan, Maine, and I believe dating to the 1980s or so. I've found a few other birds signed by Sloan out there on the internet, but haven't been able to dig up anything about him, and don't have a first name. I rather like that he didn't just stick to birds found in Maine, as evidenced in this very sweet penguin, whose posture, and demeanor too, feel just right. 6 1 8" t x 1 3
