Lisa Emmett Oil Painting on Wooden Spoon — Signed, w/ Documentation

Original oil painting by Lisa Emmett, rendered on a primitive hand-carved wooden spoon. This solid wood ladle—measuring 16.25 inches in length—features a delicately painted pueblo village scene nestled below a mountainous skyline, executed in Emmett’s signature Southwestern palette. The artwork is signed “L.E.” on the front and comes with the artist’s original printed documentation, which explains her process of selecting and painting on well-worn traditional bowls and utensils.

The spoon itself shows honest signs of use, with age-darkened wood and visible surface wear, lending authenticity and character to the piece. This rustic utensil, repurposed as a folk art canvas, represents a thoughtful blend of indigenous craft and regional storytelling.

Condition:
Good overall, with natural wear and patina consistent with age and previous use. The base of the spoon bowl shows some charring and surface loss, as seen in photos. No damage to the painted surface. A compelling folk art object with genuine utility history.

Spoon: 16.25 x 3.75 x 2 inches
