Watercolor Painting Wednesday At Eddys By Dena Mckee Appraisal

Watercolor Painting titled "Wednesday at Eddy's" by Dena McKee

This item is a framed watercolor painting titled "Wednesday at Eddy's," created by Dena McKee in 1995. The artwork depicts a commercial building, likely a drive-in restaurant or diner, rendered in a realistic yet painterly style. The composition features the building prominently in the center, with a large green sign stating "EDDY'S DRIVE-IN" on the right. The building itself has a flat or slightly sloped dark roof and light-colored walls, possibly white or cream. A large canopy or awning extends from the front of the building, under which various shelves, objects, and possibly people are visible, though details are somewhat indistinct due to the medium. To the left of the building, there appear to be wooden fences or panels, and further left, an unpaved ground area, possibly dirt or gravel, with horizontal lines suggesting texture. On the right side of the painting, beyond the drive-in sign, is a cluster of green trees, indicating foliage. The color palette primarily consists of earthy tones for the ground and building, with vibrant greens for the sign and trees, and some warm browns for the wooden elements. The painting is housed within a simple, possibly wooden, frame finished in a greenish-blue hue that complements the artwork's greens. There are no obvious signs of significant damage to the painting itself, such as tears or major discoloration, but minor wear consistent with its age can be expected. The frame shows some slight scuffs or wear along its edges. The craftsmanship appears to be a folk art or outsider art style, characteristic of individual expression rather than formal academic training, making it unique and potentially appealing to collectors of regional or niche art.
