About the Item

'King Kong' by American Outsider Artist B.D. Floyd  American, late 20th century Oil on Artist Board 21 inches by 24 inches high Framed 28 inches by 32 inches high "King Kong" by American Outsider Artist B.D. Floyd is a captivating piece from the late 20th century. This oil painting on artist board measures 21 inches by 24 inches and is presented in a framed dimension of 28 inches by 32 inches. "King Kong" is a remarkable embodiment of American folk and outsider art, highlighting Floyd's distinctive style. The composition features a subtle yet highly detailed depiction of the iconic scene, capturing the essence of the cinematic moment with precision and depth, with King Kong holding Fay Wray atop the Empire State Building, set against a colorful skyline landscape. The narrative is enriched by the inclusion of encircling military biplanes, adding depth and drama to the imagery. Floyd's mastery is evident in his ability to convey excitement to the narrative through his simplistic yet evocative brushwork. The painting is signed in the lower right corner. "King Kong" is not merely a work of art; it is a window into the imaginative world of B.D. Floyd and a testament to the enduring power of outsider creativity.

Antique American Hunting Canvasback Decoy Signed C. A Locart & J.G.
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Antique American Hunting Canvasback Decoy Signed C.A. Locart & J.G. Hand-Carved Wood, Early 20th Century, 18" W x 6.5" D x 7" H This antique American canvasback duck decoy is a remarkable example of early 20th-century hunting craftsmanship, signed by C.A. Locart and J.G. Hand-carved from solid wood, this decoy measures 18 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 7 inches high, making it an impressive piece for both display and collection. Canvasback ducks are the largest species of diving duck in North America. Male Canvasbacks are recognizable by their white bodies and maroon heads, while females are more gray with sandy-brown heads. These ducks are seldom found on dry land, preferring to sleep and nest on the water. This decoy features a bold, streamlined profile characteristic of canvasback ducks, prized by hunters for their distinctive sloping head and long bill. The deep, rich patina of the wood highlights the natural grain, with subtle carving marks that add texture and character. The orange glass eyes lend a lifelike quality, enhancing its realistic appeal. On the underside, the decoy bears the impressed signatures of C.A. Locart and J.G., adding to its historical significance and collectible value. The piece shows age-appropriate wear, including minor surface imperfections and a charming patina that reflects its authentic use in waterfowl hunting. Perfect for decoy collectors, folk art enthusiasts, or those seeking rustic Americana decor...
