From the first sketch to the final varnish, Ye Olde Time Drugge Shop is made by hand. Based on Abbott Fuller Graves's original. This classic oil painting wall decor is crafted on artist-grade canvas for anyone who wants fine art oil painting with the character of an original.
The present work was commissioned in the late 19th century by Frederick Stearns, the owner of one of the country's largest drug manufacturers, who wanted a painting of an American pharmacy as it was when his company was founded in 1855. Using an old store in his hometown of Kennebunkport, Maine and local people as models, in Ye Old Time Drugge Shop, Abbott Fuller Graves captures the simplicity of old-fashioned small town life while also recognizing the idiosyncrasies of the individuals posing. He once said of his Maine community, "I love the place, the quaint characters and buildings, the stories, the old wharves--they are all dear to me. I love the people, too; there is a particular geniality about these people who are willing to adopt any sort of character or costume to help me paint a picture." (as quoted in The Wave, Kennebunkport, Maine, August 10, 1901, p. 2) With curious signs and mysterious bottles adding to the intriguing characters, Ye Olde Drugge Shop is a testament to not only Graves' attention to detail but also his subtle sense of humor.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Expect subtle, hand-made variation rather than factory uniformity. Each fine art canvas is painted with oils, allowed to cure properly, and inspected before it is approved for shipment.
Wondering where fine art oil painting looks best? Try a living room mantel, a dining room sideboard, or a hallway gallery wall. The fine art subject reads clearly from a distance and rewards close viewing up near.
In short: Ye Olde Time Drugge Shop - Abbott Fuller Graves - Oil Painting Wall Decor combines a classic composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for fine art oil painting and living room wall decor.
