A large watercolor on paper on panel painting of a classical mountain landscape, dated in Chinese 1980 at upper left (and likely signed there, I cannot read calligraphy), the work measuring 32" by 22 1/2" (the entire panel 40 1/2" by 30 1/2" with metal frame, loose/no glass). The artist was obviously familiar with centuries of Chinese classical landscapes. There is light wear in several places but nothing serious. The work is loose within the frame and can be shipped with or without it.

Oil on canvas painting of a trellis and a patio, lots of flowers and impressionistically depicted leaves filling the composition, 24" by 36", unframed, signed at lower right "ED CORDEZ". No listed artist by this name comes up in any net searches I've made so I will consider this a fine work by a talented though unlisted artist. It was probably executed within the past twenty years. Condition is excellent. You'll easily find a standard size 24" by 36" frame to complement the work.

A work over forty years old but very contemporary and stylish in feeling, a watercolor of young female bicycle riders at the beach perhaps, 14" by 21" (23" by 29" framed), signed at lower right by well listed California artist DOUGLASS EWELL PARSHALL (1899-1990).

A most decorative painting: a contemporary oil on canvas laid on board, 17 1/2" by 23 1/2", (26" by 31 1/2" in really beautiful and unusual contemporary hand carved silvery frame in Art Nouveau style), the painting and possibly frame also by noted Chicago artist and antiques restorer DMITRI RYBCHENKOV (1959-), who has signed the work with his initials at lower right.

The latest original regional marsh painting by this painter. A peaceful serene marsh scene depicting stark trees with the appearance of multi color leaves at their base. Look to the trunks and limbs to find the sky colors there too. The rock lined path takes you to the mid ground where you will find one white heron eying its meal in the marsh waters and two other birds in flight.

What this artist relishes painting is a distant luminous sky...sometimes subtle...sometimes more pronounced.....
