A vibrant hand-painted folk art composition depicting a stylized yellow animal, outlined in black and covered in green spots, set against a vivid green ground. The figure’s open mouth, showing white teeth and a red tongue, adds expressive intensity to the whimsical yet poignant theme. The text integrated into the composition reads “Tired of Being the Good Guy,” rendered in black lettering around the figure. The artwork is executed in thick, opaque acrylic paints on a roughly constructed wooden panel, bordered with black-painted slats that frame the image. The surface shows visible brushstrokes and hand-painted texture. Condition: Good overall with light surface wear consistent with age and medium. Minor edge scuffs and small paint losses along the border; structurally sound. Notes: The handwritten dedication on the back reads roughly as follows: “8/17/02 Robert, you looked at the art of R.C.W. As you know, one day it will be the greatest of all arts. 2002 Atlanta Folk Art Show will always stay great. Thank you, Robert. — R.C.W.”
