“I was amazed at the quality of this Tamis Keefe tea towel. It could have come brand new from the store. I inherited this identical tea towel from my aunt and hang it every year to remember Christmas celebration with my family. I have 2 daughters who also love this Christmas tea towel art. They were sad that there was only one. Now I can leave one for each of them to celebrate in the future. I highly recommend this seller!”

Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A colourful folk art painting depicting a rural scene with people and white deer. The painting is set against a blue sky with green trees and a grassy field. The artist's signature, "Alberto Camilo", is visible in the bottom right corner.

A vintage Mexican primitive folk art painting done on masonite (hardboard) signed "Alberto Camilo." This is one of two Camilo paintings for sale in my shop (if the other hasn't sold). Please see the listing for a pair of smaller Camilo paintings for sale in my shop at the time of this listing.

I was able to find other paintings by this artist. He is Mexican although he's identified as being from the Mexican state of Guerrero in some listings and Oaxaca in others. A sold listing on Etsy for a painting by this artist said that the seller had purchased the painting from the artist himself in Oaxaca City. The two states border each other so it's possible the artist is from Guerrero but chose to market his paintings in Oaxaca City as it it one of Mexico's thriving art hubs.

The painting is done in acrylic paint, egg tempera, and tempera paint on masonite/hardboard.

It is unframed, horizontally oriented, and measures approximately 10 inches high x 12 inches wide x 1/8 inch deep.

I'm fascinated by the white deer in the lower right hand corner - particularly its antlers. A man and two women appear to be lassoing/tethering animals in a mountainous terrain.

There are a few places - shown in Photo #9 - where there are small hard particles on the surface of the picture. You can see one small particle on the arm of the woman's red shirt - another located to the right of the man's right arm that's in the air. I did not want to attempt to remove them for fear of removing the paint.
