Hand-Carved Mourning Dove Folk Art Sculpture on Driftwood – Signed Dorothy Brown, North Haven, Maine. Offered here is a beautiful and serene example of American folk art: a hand-carved mourning dove, meticulously crafted and mounted on a natural driftwood base. The artist, Dorothy Brown of North Haven, Maine, has captured the dove’s gentle essence with elegant simplicity and confident carving. The soft, realistic coloration enhances the bird’s peaceful presence, making it a poignant and highly collectible sculpture. The work is clearly signed, titled, and located by the artist on the underside of the base. “Mourning Dove / by Dorothy Brown / North Haven, Maine”. This inscription firmly places the piece within the cherished tradition of New England coastal folk art, adding significant value for collectors of regional works. Why This Piece Stands Out. The mourning dove is a perennially popular subject in folk art, symbolizing peace and tranquility. Hand-carved and hand-painted, this is a genuine, one-of-a-kind artwork with clear provenance directly from the artist. The signature of Dorothy Brown from North Haven, Maine, connects the piece to a specific place and artistic heritage, highly prized by collectors. The sculptural driftwood base is itself a work of nature, providing a harmonious and visually engaging foundation that complements the dove perfectly. The balanced form and restrained paint application are precisely the qualities that folk art collectors seek. The sculpture measures approximately. 12 inches long by 5 inches high. Giving it a substantial presence that is perfect for a mantel, bookshelf, or as a focal point in a curated folk art collection. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a tranquil and authentic piece of Maine-made folk art with a direct artist attribution. It is not a mass-produced item, but a work of heart and hand, ready to bring its calm beauty to your home.

CROW TRACKS Wood Carvings. I carved this Cedar Waxwing and dated it July 6, 2025. I have been carving in this town since 1983 and have a gallery called CROW TRACKS where I sell my work during the tourist season. Please take some time to visit my gallery when you are vacationing on the Maine coast. I carve and sell many different carvings and market more online this year. I always have a Cedar Waxwing carved and ready for sale in my shop. Chances are good the next one listed will not have the same look. The height of the carving is about 5 1/2 inches and is about 7 inches from the end of the bill to the end of the tail. It is a full-size and will fit well in a home or office. This piece I carved from White pine and painted with acrylics. Instead of glass eyes I carve or paint the eyes and always try to give each of my carvings character through facial expression. The whole bird including the primary and secondary wing feathers and tail feathers are textured with a wood-burning pen that simulates the fine lines of feather barbs. My carvings also feature a burnt-in signature. On this piece the signature and date are burnt into the underside of the driftwood base. If you’re looking for a happy little Cedar Waxwing carving for your collection, or if you are looking for a special gift for your favorite birder consider this piece. It is a quality piece handmade with Maine craftsmanship. All copyrights reserved by the artist. All packing materials are recycled materials if possible.
