Les Marchandes de Bamboo

Description Petion Savain 20 x 24 Oil on Masonite Haitian ladies at the market selling bamboo along with produce and other items. These hand carved frames are made from hard oak trees grown in Haiti. They are made by frame makers, not the artist. Some frames take weeks to make, while others are carved while the painter is painting and are finished when the painting is done. This is done because the corners must it. None of the paintings are the exact size. These frames are valued at $200 or more.
