About the Item

San Francisco-based folk artist Tim Weldon, fresh off a showing at Scottsdale’s annual Celebration of Fine Art, is a man in touch with his lovable inner child. He declares himself a dreamer whose original emotional bond with painting was put aside for a 15-year journey through singing, acting, and further expression as a cartoonist, a music producer, and even a theatrical dancer. How delightful that the latter incarnation almost comes alive in this 6-foot-tall, wooden folk art figure—and for only “10 cents per dance.” What might this dapper fellow perform in your imagination to enliven an all-gray, spare contemporary abode, or offer a welcome presence in your entry? Purchased by the owner directly from the artist.
