Paintings & Wall Hangings

An interesting group of 5 cartoon character paintings on board of “Wingo the Dog”. These paintings were done in 1970 by Wesley L. Wing, then an inmate in a prison most likely in Illinois. There are reference stamps from the prison identifying Wing as an inmate with his name and serial number. One of the paintings (fisherman) has a label with the name Mrs. Harold L. Wing and her address in Owawa. IL. with the prison stamp and information whited out. She is likely Wesley’s mother and the painting was a gift. Very accomplished work.
$160 each or $650 for all.

Note Marianne’s use of silk threads to highlight the trees at the bottom.
