Original Signed Beatrice M. Smith Folk Art Painting – “Schoolyard Play” Red Schoolhouse Scene – Authentic Americana

Stunning original painting by celebrated folk artist Beatrice M. Smith, signed “B. Smith” in the lower right corner. This piece, often referred to as “Schoolyard Play,” captures a joyful red schoolhouse scene filled with children playing hopscotch, climbing trees, and dancing in the grass while their teacher looks on. The colors are rich and lively — bright greens, deep reds, and soft blue skies — everything that makes Smith’s work so loved by collectors of Southern folk art and Americana. 🖌️ Details: Artist: Beatrice M. Smith Title: “Schoolyard Play” (common subject) Medium: Acrylic on canvas Signed: Lower right corner (“B. Smith”) Framed: Yes – original vintage frame included Condition: Excellent overall. The paint surface is clean and vivid. There’s a small area of discoloration along the bottom edge of the canvas, likely from paint that the artist herself spilled during creation — not damage, and it doesn’t affect the artwork at all. It adds a touch of authenticity and story to the piece. Local pickup preferred. Ready to hang. 💎 Why it’s special: Beatrice M. Smith’s work is known for its heart, storytelling, and celebration of everyday joy. Her paintings rarely come up for sale locally, and this one is an especially charming example of her classic red schoolhouse scenes.
