| 'Siesta Box' folk art box ©robin r kent |
Maybe we're outsiders in the folk art world? Outsider folk art. We could claim that as in location, but we might be sterotyped as more reserved in style. Yes, this region might be a tad more stoic. Working with leftovers from nature's prim pantry. But we do embody the every man motif. Few embossed or polished edges here.

He left sitting pretty in a spiffy 2-seater convertible many years ago. I could tell he was made to see more of the world. They looked like a nice couple as they headed for points south. He never looked back.

Oh Wow! He is awesome.
I love his sandals!
It's so nice to know that he was off to see new places.

I think that it's hard to pinpoint styles sometimes.
I just started painting again and I have no idea what my "style" is.
Mixed Media, Folk Art, Naive, Primitive, Outsider or Pop?
Years ago when I listed paintings on Ebay, I would have them under each of those titles, never sure where I belonged.
I liked your last paragraph, sort of poetic and felt like the blues. How are you so sure he never looks back?
...he never sent any postcards from exotic places or southern realms...I think he's happy, though. He looks like he'd do better in that clime.

Sand, love it!
Folk art warms the heart, brings smiles to lips, and fits into pretty much any decor!
I like your thinking, Carole!
