Oil on canvas painting of trees in a tawny dry landscape, 12" by 20" and 1" wide old wood frame, signed at lower left by artist S. J. TUJAGUE. At first I had difficulty reading the signature but some net research showed this to be by an artist apparently at least originally hailing from Louisiana, there being a number of pieces, some still life works, having been auctioned in New Orleans. A famous restaurant in that city goes by this name...

Commissioned oil portrait painting on stretched canvas of a little girl in pigtails and as the patron described, '...you captured her eyes as lipid pools...'. This child is a Scorpio and can fix anyone with one firm look! Although she does not tolerate fools, she is both kind and sweet. Although of European descent her "cat eyes", as she calls them, appear when she smiles.

A spectacular Nathaniel Rogers painting done in watercolor on organic wafer. I very rarely, if ever, describe or refer to an item as "the best", or the "finest example ever". However, there is no question that this painting represents Rogers at the peak of his ability, which indeed is quite high. Further, the vast majority of his paintings are only bust length, and do not depict the hands of the sitter, not any additional objects...
Original lithograph print, 7 1/4" by 10 3/8" inside the mat opening, the sheet 8 1/4" by 12 3/4", the title "Greeting Card for Aime Maeght", printed by Mourlot in the year 1960 in an unknown edition, on heavy Arches paper. The print is taped at top on the reverse...

Measures 9" wide, 9 5/8" high, and 3" deep, these measurements include the stand. The figure alone is roughly 8 3/4" wide, 7 1/2" high and 2 1/8" deep.
The metal appears to be copper, as it shows through in some small areas where the black surface is worn...
A large clean lithograph print in the advanced naive style of acclaimed Jewish artist SHALOM OF SAFED (SHALOM MOSKOWITZ), 1895-1980. The imagery is colorful and comprehensive, featuring blue sky with clouds, architecture, figures, animals, and interiors, along with embedded messages in Hebrew. The Hassidic artist was a watchmaker by trade, and only late in life turned to his artistic talents. His original paintings have brought into five figures...

The work measures 12" by 9" and is currently unframed, protected just in a sleeve, the backing bearing a rubber stamp of Juniper Arts, Honolulu, Hawaii. Tennent was born in England and led a long and distinguished life in the fine arts...
The work is in gouache on paper on board, 10 1/2" by 13", signed at lower left, the subject a split rail fence in a brushy late autumn subdued landscape, This has a frame, of sorts, but it is old and cheap and falling apart. The art has some condition problems, most notably at lower right, where I think moisture exposure has sort of erased the image in that corner. Properly framed, this little work by a listed woman artist who painted a number of western Virginia landscapes will live on...
