Take a Mule to Water on Wood

An original artwork by "Missionary" Mary Proctor inspired by the saying "you can take a mule to water but you can't make him drink." Read closely for Mary's own spin on the message.

MEMBERS' PRICE: $256.50

After losing four relatives to a house fire in February 1995, "Missionary" Mary Proctor was visited by an angelic voice that asked her to paint a door. Once that door was completed, she sold it to an art collector. Fascinated by her work, more doors were commissioned and thus began her career as a folk artist. Since that time, Mary has painted compulsively on either repurposed materials or canvas. 

Every art piece is one-of-a-kind and painted by Mary herself.
