Sad Eyed St. Bernard, 1909 Naive Watercolor by Katie Eby, Age 14, Pennsylvania tabletop bowling pins but have not placed it

but have not placed it definitively

their literal long shadow--with nods to the Garden too

color is bright

all the better when they deliver a portrait

just adding a little to its nice sense of object hood

Sad Eyed St. Bernard, 1909 Naive Watercolor by Katie Eby, Age 14, Pennsylvania tabletop bowling pins but have not placed itThis is one of three watercolors by a young Katie Eby I purchased in PA from a great paper dealer, who I believe told me as I was purchasing them that they came from the estate of the important American folk art collector and gallerist John Gordon. Quite an empathetic and very soulful looking St. Bernard here, I'd say how not to love? Labeled in cursive in graphite at the bottom (in case the barrel around his neck didn't give it away) and signed on
