Circa 1930's or 1940's oil on canvasboard painting of a cognac bottle on a table top, an apple, lemon and orange completing the composition, signed at lower right "Henri Martin". The work besides an impressionist almost Pointillist hand, possesses a certain modernity particularly in the handling of the background. The painting would brighten dramatically with a cleaning to remove the old varnish and soiling. Measurements are 20" by 16" and 31" by 26 1/2" in the heavy, classic, dark oak frame...

Oil on canvas laid on board painting of the Grand Canyon, 17" by 21" (20" by 24" as framed), apparently unsigned, circa 1940's, possibly earlier, executed in a naive manner that borders on or crosses the line to folk art. I think the technique is intentionally naive and primitive, as opposed to just the less-refined work of an amateur artist. The frame (see close-up) adds to the folk art aspects. This is a fine addition to your Southwest or Southwest folk art collection.

Oil on canvas, 24" by 36" (28" by 39" as framed), UNSIGNED, but certainly by the popular listed California artist HERBERT SARTELLE (1885-1955) (I will stand by this). This is a classic mountain scene favored by the artist (he seems to have painted that particular mountain over and over again), with large eucalyptus trees and a lake with distant mountains, all executed in Sartelle's unique impressionistic style and characteristic color palette. The painting probably dates to the 1940s or 1950s...
