with these highly stylized stacked animals on opposite sides rendered in matte baby blue

TIPPY, Much Weathered White on Baby Blue Painted Canvas Canoe Siding Fragment antique tin retablo appears transformed into a cloudTippy was the name of a beloved canoe, and this was a portion of its canvas siding, located on one side at the bow of the boat clearly Tippy saw many a trip, and maybe a tip or two too! I love it as a found object, and found that chippy white lettering against sky blue too good to resist, and I love the shape of the canvas too, a bit like the shape of the blade of an (fat) oar, and with a jaunty sort of kick to the lower left corner 18 1 2" x 13 3 4"
