Original African American Painting Oil Black Folk Art Unframed Signed

This is a one of a kind original painting. Johnnie, an African American artist is incarcerated, has been painting about three years and is self taught. He has donated many of his paintings to support a program that allows men to earn their college degrees while behind bars. He has a rare eye disorder and is diagnosed as legally blind but still manages to create beautiful works of art. This is one of his earlier pieces, done in oil on canvas paper.

It looks like he initialed it in the bottom righthand corner, but it is not signed on the back. This painting does not come with a frame... The photo that I show is to help you visualize what it would look like in a frame. There is some damage to the bottom of the painting and just a bit on the side where the border tape was removed...
