Rufus Porter Mural


I loved seeing this mural in the style of Rufus Porter earlier this week. It looks so nice! My photo [click to enlarge].
Rufus Porter was a traveling folk artist and inventor who decorated walls with stenciled images and original paintings throughout New England during the first half of the 1800s. via

I once sold a pair of Rufus Porter miniature portraits from a Boston estate. I wish I still had them today.

I have a real soft spot for early American folk art. This is beautiful, the muted colour palate floats my boat!
