Alex Ricker Folk Art

Today I analysed a folk art painting by Queena Stovall. she is a folk artist.
My interpretation of folk art is timely expressions of (simple) times. The art is not as master full looking, there are imperfections and disproportions. Where regular towns people are expressed in a reality photographic memorable moment. She paints small town, working class Americans who are usually enjoying life.
The painting The End of The Line
In this painting all of the people are having what looks like an auction.
This looks like a small town village scene in which most or all of the people know each other. Most of them seem to be dressed in nice clothes. Like maybe church type o thing.
The speaker in the auction looks to be enjoying himself, probably because he is getting paid. The women in the back round are having side conversations and getting a little rowdy. There is either an Native American, or African American in the the middle ground next to the screen on the left side of the house. As if looking on at the others. or maybe she int looking at the others at all. Se simply could just be shopping. But she most definitely seems out of place.
The season is changing from summer to fall and it is still a comfortable temperature outside. It is probably 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There are tired looking individuals outside the crowd who are helping set up the furniture and other sale items. There is an elder man dressed in casual clothes. He sits back relaxed watching his stuff get sold. He looks tired as well does his house. Old plantation style grey with brick chimneys on the sides. It is run down and old just like the old man.
Next to the man is his dog who's characteristic and behavior resemble its owner in the chair. There is a grandfather clock on the porch. It is most likely the most expensive item in the house and he is keeping it under the porch in case of rain.
This piece is very specific and depicts a specific place, (one grain among many).
