Found “felt painting” at garage sale. Much detail; not like velvet paintings.?

On beige felt. Three men: r.r. guy (Otto) and two others playing checkers by a black pot-bellied stove. One cat, as well as details of store’s supplies (spices, fabrics, brooms, fruits, pickle barrels, coffee, tea, oil lamps, etc. The men’s names are Otto, Joe, & Ray (on hats & clothes). Floor is wooden & there’s a door leading to another room on the left. Details even include shadows of objects & metallic paint for metal teapots. Colors: browns, browinsh-red, blues & greens. Not real bright. There’s a square, wooden column on left. Size: about 3 1/2′ by 2 1/2′. Simple wooden frame. One man is smoking a pipe & wearing work boots like my granddad’s (brown with a hoop to help pull them on) & one wears glasses. Medium includes paint, felt pen, & pencil. Five broomheads are in the forefront of the picture. A gas or kerosene lamp hangs over Otto’s head. May be like “paint by numbers” mentioned before, but seems less “guided” than those. Must’ve taken long time to do.

Sounds nice….LOL…..did you say ‘garage sale’ or ‘garbage sale’?
