J PerLee Shilling Folk Art Painting of Yellow House with Green Sky in Grain Painted Frame wooden sailors It features hand-painted eyes inDetail photos give the best and most accurate sense of the wonderful off key colors and abundance of charms in this terrific earlyish 20th c. folk art painting, signed J. Perlee Shilling. I've found a Joshua PerLee Shilling (1885 1947) from a long line of Perlees and Shllings in Tuscaraw Township in Stark, Ohio, who I think was likely its maker, and I'd be willing to bet the painting is of the family home. It wins me on both a macro and micro scale
