Mermaids, Sailors and Whales Online Class

Description

Great inspiration and connection to an old painting style can be illustrated in the work of Ralph Cahoon (1910-1982). A joyful look at the work of a contemporary folk artist who blends Swedish folk art with contemporary fables and the influence of the area where he lives. Fun!
