Over the course of his lifetime he produced thousands of paintings.

O'Kelley (1908-1997) was 60 when she first began painting in 1968, and is best-known for her pointillist works that illustrate her life on her family's farm in Georgia.
Another painting by O'Kelley, Sun Setting Hill Farm, is featured in the sale with a valuation of $15,000-20,000.

Doyle (1906-1985) was a folk artist of Gullah descent from Saint Helena Island in South Carolina.
He worked in house paint on found pieces of corrugated tin and, although well known locally, it was not until his death in 1985 that his work received mainstream attention.
Dr Buz, a painting of Saint Helena's local voodoo healer Doctor Buzzard, achieved $43,000 at Slotin last year.
