Uncharacteristically, I'm going to provide a little context for this one. John Mitchell's Folly is an antique store/art gallery housed in a skinny, tall Second Empire townhouse off the proverbial beaten path, far up in the hills of the Ozarks. Mr Mitchell specializes in early Ozark Primitive painting, such as Ernest "By Golly" Schilling. Almost everything in the store is priceless, battered, and inspires in me a mixture of wonder and terror.
I hope that this mix does justice to spooky eclecticism of this national treasure of a junk store. The above picture of the storefront is borrowed, but below are some of my wife's pictures of Mr. Mitchell's stock.
