About the Artist: Born Mexico 1874 Died 1965 Born in 1874, Saldaña grew up at Rancho Neuvo in Mexico. In 1950, at the age of 76, he began attending children's art classes at the Denver Art Museum. For the next fitfteen years, Saldaña Imaginatively documented whimsical memories from his childhood in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, portraying ranch life, landscapes, and his great love of animals. The prolific artist painted every day, completing a new piece about every three days and amassing an impressive body of work for the former cook at the Denver landmark, the Brown Palace Hotel.

This atmospheric Folk Art painting on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom, made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The Desert Fox', acrylics on mahogany plywood, unframed 24cm x 25cm, 2005. Initialed on the front. Provenance, directly from the artist studio.

Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. There is something intriguing about paintings by the moonlight. Nancy uses the effect to emphasis the three main characters, herself, Daoud and the fox! Nancy narrates the painting, 'Daoud on his way to meet a local Elder, known as the Desert Fox, while a four legged Fox lurks about the background. Most men in the desert area around Mhamid wear traditional garments- a Gandoura (on Daoud) or a Djellaba (on the Fox) which look elegant when the wearer is just standing around or sitting on a camel, but a little strange on a bicycle or motorbike with a Shesh (turban) flowing in the breeze. A Shesh makes any man look good, and provides protection from sun and wind; almost all Moroccan men wear a Shesh most of the time, except when donning an unsuitable for the climate, western suit...
