| Historical Styles of American Folk ArtFolk art painting became popular in the United States during the early and middle part of the 1900s when several artists, referred to as the three P's, Peter Ompir, Per Lynse and Peter Hunt, decorated tables, chairs, trunks and other surfaces with beautiful and often whimsical scenes. Oddly shaped characters, very "folky" painted fruit and quirky scenes were often the subject of paintings done by the three P's.If you can get them, paintings by these artists are extremely collectible and worth a great deal of money. However, you can easily enjoying buying and perhaps painting pieces in this style because many of today's finest Heirloom painters are designing and painting pieces done in this very unique and recognizable style.
