Fenton Dukeshire. Sculptor. Wood carver. Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Active mid 20th century.
Fenton Dukeshire carved people in real and imaginary situations; often making dioramas. His carvings were naive and primitive and very expressive. And always full of color. I have also seen: a very elaborate model of a Victorian house; carved and painted by him.
Shown is a diorama of a school room with students and what seems to be a harsh mistress:
