Watercolor on paper, unframed, unsigned, dated 1924 and titled "Col Spgs", showing old houses against a mountain backdrop. This is a beautifully executed work by an artist that I would imagine is listed, but, he didn't sign his work. The sheet measures 12" by 17 3/4". There is a sketch of a man's profile on the reverse. If you live along I-25, or even if you don't, you will appreciate this fine old drawing from Colorado Springs, where the Broadmoor art colony flourished.

Watercolor on paper small painting of a Mediterranean-looking seacoast with a rock outcropping and a gnarled pine tree branch extending out over the water, measuring 9 1/4" by 13 3/4" as simply framed, signed at lower left by artist "H. Clottu" and dated there "27". Surprisingly I have not located a listing for this name, though the work suggests that this could be by a listed artist...

Watercolor measuring 14 1/4" by 20 1/2" plus 2" wide wood inexpensive frame, by listed Irish artist JOSEPH WILLIAM CAREY (1859-1937), signed J.W. CAREY and titled at lower right "Loch Lochy/Caledonian Canal" and dated 1920. There is an old 1920's or 1930's Belfast label on the reverse wood from William Rodman and Company, 41 Donegall Place BELFAST. This piece is showing its age, as it has evidently traveled through life for some time without protective glass...

By a National Academician and painting companion of Emil Kosa, here is a large watercolor (21" by 26 1/2"-----28" by 34" as framed) painting of an old style Southern California large wood dwelling structure, signed at lower right by noted artist GEORGE GIBSON (1904-2001). The old house with straggling palm outside certainly resembles some of the picturesque old structures near downtown Los Angeles that were so often the subject of Kosa's works...

Watercolor on paper laid on board still life of flowers and a vase in an interior, 15 1/2" by 11 1/2" (25" by 20" in a tired and worn old frame, not pictured but possibly available at no extra cost), signed at lower left and dated 1870 by the well listed New York artist MORSTON CONSTANTINE REAM (1840-1898). This is a rather early work by an accomplished and well listed artist, the younger brother of CARDUCIUS PLANTAGENET REAM (1837-1917), who encouraged Morston to develop his art skills...

Sold together as a **PAIR**, two watercolor paintings, each signed "BUZZI", one measuring 13 1/2" by 9", the other slightly larger at 14 1/2" by 9" (both 23" by 16 1/2" as framed), the subject two ladies going about their daily activities, dressed in 19th century garb. Condition of both is excellent, with fresh color, and no foxing/staining. The artist is most likely by listed artist Achille Buzzi or possibly Arturo Buzzi.

Watercolor on paper painting of a street scene in a French city, probably Paris, 18" by 10 1/2" inside the mat (29" by 21" as framed), signed at lower left "Jack Hines" followed by "NWR" (for "Northwest Rendezvous, and art group) and the date 1984 preceded by the copyright symbol. This is somewhat atypical subject matter for this well known artist of the American West. Hines is listed in the authoritative 1982 landmark book "Contemporary Western Artists" by Peggy and Harold Samuels...

Watercolor on paper painting of the California landmark, famous "Lone Cypress" tree on the Carmel/Monterey coast's Seventeen Mile Drive, 18 1/4" by 24 1/4" (26 1/2" by 33 1/2" framed), **UPDATE: Note, frame possibly missing in action, inquire***, signed at lower right in red gouache "R. Doty", not dated but probably circa 1960's give or take about ten years...

A large watercolor on heavy watercolor paper, 22 1/2" by 32 1/2", unframed, the subject a classic landscape of northern New Mexico, with adobes and distant mountains prominent. The work is discretely signed at lower right edge area, and dated there 1938. The artist, FRODE DANN (1892-1984), was born in Denmark and educated in art at the Royal Academy. After a time in art restoration, he moved to the United States in 1926, there to begin a long career as painter, writer, art critic, and teacher...

Watercolor on paper river fantasy scene set in the tropics, 10 1/2" by 22" and 3" wide circa early 20th century frame in very good condition, signed at lower right "W W COWELL" and dated 18(last two digits not easily discernible, possibly "189_" or could be "1879"). This is one of the rare works of painter WILLIAM WILSON COWELL (1819-1898), primarily an east coast artist who also was known to paint in the Great Lakes area, and, late in life, in Nova Scotia, Canada...

Watercolor and ink on paper, 15 1/2" by 7 1/2" plus 2" of framing on a side, signed at lower right by School of Paris twentieth century French artist JEAN CHEVOLLEAU (1924-1996). Chevolleau is today considered a part of the School of Paris (in fact he is listed in that landmark book by that name). His works are generally modern, some abstract or completely so. Subject matter can be portraits, nudes, landscapes, still life...

This is a very fine watercolor and gouache painting featuring a number horsemen outfitted in their best formal red riding coats, their accompanying hounds in the heat of the fox hunt. The artist was the very well listed watercolorist ALFRED VILLIERS FARNSWORTH (1858-1908). Farnsworth signed the painting at lower right and dated it there 1906, the year of the great San Francisco earthquake. The detail and sense of motion in the work demonstrates the mastery of Farnsworth...

A rare opportunity to acquire a fine original drawing (13 1/4" by 10 3/8", and 20 1/2" by 16 1/2" in quality mid-century framing) by the world-famous American writer and painter HENRY VALENTINE MILLER (1891-1980). This work is very faintly signed, (and possibly also inscribed, just above the signature) at lower right and is dated there 1946, making it a rather earlier work. (Actually seems to read "8/46" or "18/46"...

Gouache and watercolor on paper laid on board, 9 5/8" by 17 1/4", unframed (protected in a plastic poster box), signed at lower left "Hayden" (HENRI HAYDEN, 1883-1970). This sunny scene incorporates seven figures, all laboring under the Mediterranean sun. One at right in red/white striped shirt is dealing with a bucket load of fish; the lady in yellow dress carries a basket of produce on her head; to her left, several people stoop or bend over, attending to their agricultural tasks...

English watercolor paintings on both sides of the paper, circa 1880, one side a lovely classic scene of several cows on a dirt track by a cottage with branching tree, the other side sheep grazing around a tree, a church steeple in the distance. The paper measures 11" by 15" and 17 1/2" by 13 1/2" in a modern frame (I suggest discarding the non-glare cloudy style glass). There is no signature nor other indication of authorship. Display the better image (the cows and tree) and the other side is...

This is a work by a significant and interesting figure in the history of early 20th century art and culture.......a watercolor and gouache painting, 14 1/2" by 21" (and 2" wide frame), signed at lower right in pencil "Charles R. Hulbeck" and dated "42". I did some research and determined that that name was a pen name for RICHARD HUELSENBECK (1892-1974), one of the earliest founders and participants in the Dada phenomenon in the teens and 1920's. Huelsenbeck counted among his friends the artist...

Watercolor on paper of shrimp trawlers in a harbor, 18" by 24" and about 3" of mat and frame on a side, signed at lower left "R. Hal Burriss". This is a clean, fresh watercolor by a noted American artist associated with Florida and Louisiana. The work reminds a bit of that of Rolland Golden, a popular New Orleans, Louisiana artist who often worked in watercolor, depicting similar subject matter. The artist lived to nearly the age of 100 years, leaving behind a legacy of watercolors and oils,...

This is a masterful drawing with a definite modernist touch, by well listed artist GENE McCOMAS (1886-1982), depicting a tropical house under palms, likely in the South Seas---the artist traveled to and painted Tahiti and nearby Moorea island. The artist was San Francisco-born, and is associated with the Bay Area and the Monterey-Carmel area, but she and her husband traveled extensively and obviously produced art in these exotic locations. She studied with Xavier Martinez and was a muralist, b...
