I picked this up last summer because the water, which in real life is a well-done mix of green and blue acrylic, was quite beautiful. Neither the lighting nor camera helped capture how it really is, and my bad angle further wrecks it, but it's quite pretty.
The exposed yellow dune in the background and weirdly angled branches detract, but the artist seemed to do quite well with the water, bark, snow, small plants, and sky.
The scene is likely one of a West Michigan backwater cut-off from the rest of a channel by sedimentation.
Circa 1960s, which is when acrylic paint became popular. This piece was picked up with 2 other paintings, both 1960s.
Beautiful paintings!!
Thank you. I hung this one next to my bed.
I added a 3rd picture, of my lizard staring at it back before I hung it up.
Later he decided to talk out on me, LOL:

Just was thinking the same! The water is beautifully painted!!!
Very nice! Who is the artist? I can't read the name on the photo.
Your lizard bud must be thinking "Brrr, too cold for my liking" =)
Martika, good eye.
Anna, J. Zimmerman is what it says.
My guess is that this and the other 2 (my favourite I've not yet posted) were bought at art fairs back in the '60s/'70s. Maybe even the regular street fairs. Those ended here, mostly, a few years ago after too many years of people getting drunk and ruining it for everyone.
So they decided to make you drink beer at right across from an elementary school. I think that was quite dumb. LOL.
My favorite type of painting. [;>)
Acrylic or from the fair?
I like Anna's style.
Ha the lizard...what did your buddy look like before he started smoking?
I'm afraid that I totally missed the joke.
Nature!!:)
