　　Buying folk art paintings has been a passion of mine.I found some pieces recently.The problem was that I could only afford one and I was having trouble in deciding which one to buy.

　　The first painting was a work of Bill Dodge.He created it in 1962 and named it First Trolley To Van Nuys.The painting shows the center of a town, with a lot of people in the windows and on the street.

　　Thomas Chambers is one of America's most famous folk artists.The painting of him shows a fishing scene with villagers and boats.It may have great value in the future.But it doesn't suit my taste.

　　Another folk art piece was painted by Rev.Howard Finster in 1988.It is titled Howard in 1944.The smile on this portrait is very engaging (迷人的) and it makes me smile just as big.

　　Alligator Fisher is a folk art painting created in 1940.The blue of the bayou (海湾) is very calming and the trees give it a very Southern feel.There is a house in the painting and I like this one very much.It reminds me of Louisiana, where I was born.

　　A Letter from My Mother is one that I found during a journey.The look on the girl's face is so serious and sad.The painting itself is great; it just makes me feel sad.I had no idea where this folk art painting should hang.

　　At last, I decided to buy the one that can give me a good mood every day.What is more important than a good mood?

　　4. What do we know about the folk art painting by Bill Dodge?

　　A. It is a portrait of the painter.

B. Not many houses can be seen in it.
