FOLK ART PAINTINGFolk art painting is another term used for decorative painting. Some people use it to refer to peasant painting or the old ways of adorning household items, furniture and walls. Others may use it to describe simple, more primitive styles seen in contemporary painting today. We consider decorative painting to be an accurate, contemporary term since it includes many, many painting styles on a whole range of surfaces. Today, the terms folk art and tole painting are interchanged to mean decorative painting. That’s why we use them all on this site.
