Oil Paintings
on Velvet
Information:

The "Four Season's" is an adaptation of an museum theorem.  The original theorem can be found in the Dewitt Wallace Gallery in Colonial Williamsburg.  The name "Four Season's" is based on the fact that there are flowers from each season of the year in the painting.

As with any theorem it is a stencil art form painted in oil on a cotton velveteen fabric.

Theorems are true American Folk Art and were often created by young ladies as part of their finishing school studys. Most of the old theorems were not signed or dated but could be traced by the pattern created by a New England school.  

 

Four Season's 

The Four Season's theorem is called that because it contains a flower from every season - it is a great theorem
