Unsigned watercolor landscape painting, late 19th century American origin, the subject a chilly shoreline including snow-covered shacks, two figures, and a small overturned boat in winter storage, measuring 11" by 21" inside the mat (16" by 25" as framed). This is a primitive work, the figures a bit small and out of scale, and therefore a charming work, rather typical of late nineteenth century American watercolor by self-taught artists. CONDITION: Foxing in the sky, as shown, otherwise good....

A 9" by 13" watercolor painting (15" by 19" framed) of a river bounded by vegetation several ducks swimming picturesquely at lower right, signed at lower left by the noted historian and author Edgar Mayhew Bacon (1855-1935) of Tarrytown, New York. The work is titled on an old Hudson Valley Art Exhibition exhibition label "Ashley River, Near Charleston S.C. $35.00". Bacon was a noted historian and author.

Circa 1940 watercolor landscape painting, 11 1/4" by 15 1/4", 19" by 22 1/2" framed (no glass), signed at lower left by artist Edith Ovaitt. Edith appears to have been a talented amateur artist. An internet search reveals a woman by that name born in 1893 or 1898, living in Flint, Michigan at the time of the 1930 census. That Edith Ovaitt died in 1969. Ovaitt is apparently a fairly common name in that area. The watercolor's blue dominating color is very soothing and the work is clean. Just...

A nicely painted watercolor landscape of a farm in autumn, 20" by 14" (29 1/2" by 23 1/2" framed) signed boldly at lower left and stamped there by the artist, LEWIS SUZUKI (1920-2016). In even relatively recent years there was little information on Suzuki, whose fine watercolors seemed to show up in California with some regularity. Fortunately that scarcity of information is now a thing of the past, the family having started a comprehensive Facebook page which pays loving tribute to this man, ...

From the hand of pioneering modernist painter and printmaker GEORGE CONSTANT (1892-1978), a large (28" by 19 1/2" inside the mat, 36" by 27" framed) watercolor painting of white, pink and purple lilacs in a vase, signed at lower right by the artist. This is a striking work with a pronounced modern approach to still life. The background is essentially featureless, the vase outlines very simple, and then there is the beautiful curve at bottom, more suggestive of an artist palette than a table to...
