Description: Ave Fernekes, of Wisconsin, is recognized for her naive delightful child-like watercolors, usually in bright colors and fanciful scenes. This example is signed in the facing lower right and titles "Henrietta and Heiner (Heinrich) of Bavaria", in keeping with a theme of peoples from around the world. She is also known as the wife of the more noted artist, Max Fernekes. Together they spent much of their years together in the historic city of Mineral Point, WI, not far from Schulsburg, another mining city. This piece measures approx 15 1/2" x 11 1/2" in a slightly larger original decorative wood frame of her choice. "Ava’s art was equally prolific {as her husbands} and commercially successful, but far less recognized. She began her career working with crafts — straw dolls and small decorative boxes and eventually turned to tempera painting. Ever inventive, Ava created a universe of fantasy portraits tailored for children’s bedrooms including pixies, fairies, goblins and mermaids. To this body of work Ava added a series known as her “Children of the World” — an edition of tempera-painted sketches that featured full length costumed portraits of children from various countries."
