Oil on board painting featuring flaming autumnal trees, a view to high mountains beyond, signed at lower right "STIRLING". This 12" by 8 1/2" work (18" by 15" framed) is a rather typical example of Colorado impressionist artist DAVE STIRLING (1887-1971). Stirling was a familiar face in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, where he had a studio from which he sold paintings to passing tourists. The studio and home was called the Bugscuffle Ranch, and it was located just inside the park...

Watercolor on paper, 19" by 20" (27 3/4" by 27 3/4" as framed), confidently signed at lower left by professional artist MARINA ULIANOFF, and dated there 1951. I do not see a listing for the name, but, there is a listing for a Los Angeles area artist by the name of Vsevolod Ulianoff (1880-1940), who painted murals like that in the lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. I imagine there is a possibility this could be by his wife...

Written on the old backboard “S. Giorgio – Roma/ Augustus Hare” and a card on added to it fairly recently, probably when it was reframed, “S. Giorgio in Rome/ Dec...

An unframed, unstretched oil on canvas painting of famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle relaxing in his chair, pipe in hand and faithful Irish Terrier dog "Paddy" at his side. The work is unsigned, and likely dates to circa 1920. Could be American or European; the unknown artist was obviously trained and skilled. The painting is blanched---a cleaning would likely minimize or totally remove that condition. The tacking edge has been removed. Measurements are 17 1/2" by 13 1/2"...

Watercolor and mixed media (ink, gouache) drawing, 8 1/4" by 10 1/4" (13 3/4" by 15 3/4" framed), titled on the reverse framing paper in the hand of the artist "David playing before King Saul", signed there and again at lower left by the well listed New York-California artist IRVING ALEXANDER BLOCK (1910-1986).

Oil on burlap by the Mexican artist Jose Maria de Servin (1917-1983) of a young boy holding a colorful fish, in the modernist style that he established early in his career. Measures 26 1/2" x 19 1/2", is not stretched or framed. The painting depicts a young boy seated while holding a bright fish, wearing sandals and a straw hat with flowing ribbons. Servin typically painted these portraits on burlap, most frequently of children holding objects, pets, or other objects...

Oil on canvas laid on board, 3 1/4" by 5 3/4", 6 1/2" by 8 3/4" framed, this work is almost a miniature. The subject is typical Texas: a dirt road winding into the distance in a country landscape, trees at the right. I would be tempted to say this is a typical "bluebonnet painting", featuring the famous wildflower display that anyone who has been in Texas in the spring will recall with fondness; but the signature at lower left "GOFF" is very interesting...

An old oil on wood panel painting of a peaceful stream running through a wooded area, unsigned, 9 1/4" by 13", unframed. The work is obviously by a talented hand, probably a listed artist had he/she signed it. The oval artist's materials stamp on reverse of panel and the work itself suggests a date of circa 1900, maybe 1910. The oil needs some attention from a restorer to fully expose its original beauty...

This is a watercolor painting of the famous Philippe's French Dip Restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, an iconic area landmark to this day. The restaurant opened in 1908 and remains a vital part of Los Angeles' living history. At the restaurant, so the story goes, in the year 1918, a food preparer accidentally dropped a hot meat sandwich into the juices of the cooking pan. A customer requested it, despite its "compromised" condition...

Oil on very thin canvas, 11 1/2" by 17 1/2" (17" by 23" in vintage frame), the subject given as "Smoke Tree" in pencil on reverse paper, signed at lower left corner "Haydock".

Small oil on canvas (9" by 6 1/2", 13"by 10" framed), laid on plywood panel painting of a dark green mountainside, some autumn leaves beginning to appear on two spindly trees, apparently unsigned, circa late 19th century. The painting probably dates to about 1880 but has been laid on the plywood in recent decades (some waxy drips on the plywood as seen). There is some craquelure with a few pinpoint losses. I have searched in vain for any hint as to who the artist might have been. Framing is ...
