Apparently unsigned watercolor on heavy paper painting of an arid landscape in the American Southwest, including a distant mountain, barbed wire fencing at a dirt crossroads, and fading evening clouds, 14" by 17 1/2" as framed in a faux burl frame. When I first saw the image I was reminded of some of the watercolor art of Peter Hurd---the memorable scenes he painted of New Mexico. There is no evidence that he painted this one, but perhaps the artist was inspired by Hurd's imagery...

Watercolor on paper, 10" by 8" (16" by 13 3/4" in a contemporary gold frame), the subject a white house looming above a country lane on which a horse-drawn carriage moves at left. The scene is obviously in the tropics or sub-tropics, there being palms and other exotic vegetation. It could be Bermuda, or, perhaps, somewhere in the Caribbean basin. The work is signed in pencil at lower right "J. Pittaway" and "'24 & '25" is adjacent...

Oil on canvas laid on masonite, 20" by 30", unframed, signed at lower right by Italian artist R. J. Bertini, and dated 1902 (possibly 1912). The scene is an interior with a large hearth in the background, four men appearing as cavaliers or musketeers around a table, engaged in an animated conversation with an old woman, as a young shy woman looks on from the left corner...

In the style of the well known Gianni family of artists, is this watercolor painting of the famous trellised terrace on the world famous dramatic Italian coast, signed at lower right "A. Hunt" and titled there "Amalfi". The piece measures 7 1/4" by 13 1/2" (14" by 20" as framed). The work has some oxidation of the paper and a small dig hidden in the coastal promontory at right center but overall it has survived quite well, considering its travels without glass...

Oil on masonite portrait of a classic man of Bavaria with his traditional hat and shirt, 15 1/2" by 14" (23 1/2" by 21 1/2" framed), signed at upper left corner and dated 47 by the well listed German artist ANDREAS MITTERFELLER (1912-1972). The artist created traditional horizontal format landscape works which appear frequently at auction in Germany, but I see only a very few portraits or genre works in the records...

Oil on paper, irregularly shaped, maximum dimensions approximately 10" by 16" and 2" wood frame, signed at lower left "S. CIEJKA". I do not see a listing for this name, which appears to be of Polish origin. The painting is in oil on paper. I think from the looks of it, a date around 1940 would not be out of line, but it is hard to tell. The colors remind me of that period, and it is obvious that the piece is not from the late 20th century...

Oil on canvas, 12" by 18" (15" by 21" as framed), the subject a subtly rendered impressionist scene of large trees by a wide river, with just scant human activity present in the form of a few figures in a tiny boat in the middle distance, and a structure on the far shore. Executed in a silvery, cool palette of grays, tans and greens, this is a typical work of the well listed Scottish artist ROBERT RUSSELL MACNEE (1880-1952)...

Large watercolor on paper European street scene with half timbered style houses and many figures going about their daily lives, 21 1/2" by 16 3/4" (an impressive 36 3/4" by 29 1/2" in its original Victorian Eastlake style framing complete with original sawn wood back boards), signed at lower left and dated there 1875 by the well listed English watercolor artist THOMAS COLMAN DIBDIN (1810-1893), and titled "Caudebec"...

**ONE OF THREE ORIGINAL WORKS BY THE ARTIST IN MY SHOP**Gouache on thin board, 16" by 14", unframed, the subject a young girl wearing a flower-bedecked hat, signed at lower right by the listed California and Illinois artist MARGO ALEXANDER (1894-1965). This is a whimsical and very feminine subject that would be a fine addition to a lady's dressing area perhaps...

Watercolor painting of country cottages in a rolling rural winter landscape, 13" by 19 1/4" inside the mat, 27" by 33" as very nicely framed, signed at lower right by the listed English watercolor artist THOMAS ELLISON (1866-1942)...

Found in Connecticut, this beautifully drawn still life features poinsettia in a blue and white vase, other props including a Greek or Russian icon, a book and a plate, the work signed at lower right by artist Charlotte Newton. There is an askart listing for an artist of that name, born in Missouri in 1839, a resident of Los Angeles by 1880, who passed away in 1914...

Oil on canvas of a square in Paris, larger size at 31 1/2" by 31 1/2", unframed, signed at lower right corner with what appears as "R. Ode". The painting likely dates to about 1960, judging from the clothing of the people in the image. I do not see a listing by this name but am continuing to research. Condition: the painting will need restoration...

Fine old watercolor and ink drawing of a yard shaded by large tree, a quaint storage shed at right, 13 1/2" by 9 1/4" (21" by 16"), an old typed label on the reverse giving the artist name and biography. Swan was a painter and watercolorist of some note. He studied at the Royal Academy schools, and was recipient of the Landseer Scholarship. Between 1908 and 1940 the artist exhibited a number of pictures at the Royal Academy, at the Royal Society of British Artists, and at the Royal Institute ...

Nicely executed watercolor still life of various articles including a cup or shaving mug, spoon, coffee grinder, ginger jar, fan, and ceramic jug, 14 1/2" by 19" (23 1/2" by 27" in a circa 1960's green frame), signed at lower left by artist Pauline Goode. I was not able to locate information on the artist until I dug down into the internet, which provided a snippet from a 1956 Pasadena, California newspaper. The article said that Goode was a resident of nearby Covina, a well known watercoloris...

A circa 1990's signed oil on canvas painting of a coastal scene, 8" by 15", approximately 15" by 22" framed, signed lower left by acclaimed contemporary California artist RITA HOFFMAN SHULAK (1947-). I contacted the artist online, and she was kind enough to respond that this was her work, a not completed painting, probably of the La Jolla rocks in San Diego. She said that the work is from a period when she was experimenting with "washes". Shulak was born in Iowa and studied at Ohio State and ...

19th Century American School 1800-1899 American Artists This is an original oil on canvas painting of an Ox and Cart coming down the road. The painting has 3 intials lower right, they seem to read: "W. ?. S." Weve been unable to make out who the artist was. We feel the painting is from the late 1890's and is most likely American in origin. The painting was expertly done. The canvas laid on board measures 19X13 inches and is in a 19th century gilt frame.

A colorful, somewhat whimsical painting of the dramatic California coastline, with houses and palm trees and tiny figures showing the imprint of man on this physically dramatic and beautiful geography. The painting, 22" by 28", unframed, is signed at lower right by artist Sidney Hall. I do see online information for a California, female artist who signs Sydney Hall, but am not sure this is the same individual. The present work is not brand new; could date to 1980's or 1990's possibly. Condit...

Oil on canvas painting of a small sailing craft on the sea, a dinghy towed behind it and another sailing boat on the horizon, 18" by 14" (24" by 20 1/2" framed), signed at lower left by noted American listed artist HENDRICKS HALLETT (1847-1921). Hallett was known for his marine paintings and historical works, and was especially adept at watercolor. The artist studied in Antwerp and Paris and returned to Boston for further training. He was a member of the Boston Art Club and the Boston Society ...

Watercolor on paper landscape, 10 1/2" by 7" inside the early-style gold mat, 18 1/2" by 14 1/2" as framed, signed in blue at lower right "J.A. HANCOX". No listings were found for this artist, but the work appears certainly to be of English origin. There is fairly heavy foxing especially at top in the sky, and a small bar of lighter paper there. It appears that the artist signed in lower right corner and then tried to rub it out there before re-signing it two inches higher up.

Gouache on paper drawing of a Baltimore Oriole and a blue jay, 12 1/2" by 16" (23 3/4" by 28" framed), signed at lower right by the noted Disney illustrator AUGUST CURLEY LENOX (1908-1986). This is a really nicely executed work, in the style of an illustrator like Lynn Bogue Hunt or William Schaldach or Rex Brasher. Colors are vivid and the realism is such that the viewer can almost "hear" these birds. I suppose it could have been executed as a book or magazine illustration. Lenox was born i...

Watercolor on paper, 6" by 15 1/4" (11" by 20" as framed), unsigned, the subject drawn completely in shades of brown, circa turn of the century or early 20th century, Included in the scene are a number of sail boats of various sizes, and there are a few coastal shacks and houses in the scene, as well as a few tiny figures. Most likely this is a work by an amateur from the east coast, perhaps Massachusetts or the like. The present mat is not professionally cut. I would recommend removing it a...

**ONE OF SEVERAL WORKS BY THIS ARTIST IN MY SHOP**Oil on canvas laid on board painting of colorful, flowering shrubs and bushes alongside the Pacific shore, 8 3/8" by 11" (11 3/4" by 14 3/4" in very attractive vintage pie crust style frame), signed at lower right center by the well listed California painter WILLIAM CONSTABLE ADAM (1846-1931). This is a typical work of an artist who is today best known for his depictions of the landscapes, gardens, and houses of the Monterey Peninsula area. Born ...

This is a modernist work (the medium appears to be tempera on board), measuring 10" by 17" (14" by 20 1/2" framed). It is signed at lower left by noted artist AMBROSE PATTERSON (1877-1967) and titled on the reverse, rather mysteriously, "The Alert". This is a late painting by the artist, who had a very different style earlier in his long painting career. Subject matter is open to viewer interpretation. The surface certainly seems to be complex and quite heavily worked. Patterson was born...

PAIR of oils on canvas board of historic old structures in landscapes, each 9" by 12" (14 1/4" by 17 1/2" in similar but not identical white wood frames), one signed in red at lower left by listed Philadelphia artist HARRY JAMES OSHIVER (1888-1974). Oshiver was a pupil of Daniel Garber , Henry McCarter, and Hugh Breckenridge. Born in Moscow, Russia, he studied at the Spring Gardens Institute and at the Pennsylvania Academy. Today he is known for his landscapes, nudes, still life, and prints. ...

Oil on canvas painting of a Parisian street as it would have looked during the "Belle Epoque" era around the turn of the century, 12" by 16" and 3" wide frame, unsigned. This impressionistic work is an original hand painted work, not a print or reproduction of any type. There is a signature that appears to read "Liotta" at lower right, rather hard to see. This is a decorative piece that should enhance any traditional interior setting. Condition of the painting is excellent, and I note very s...

Offered together here as a pair, are two watercolors in vertical format, 6 3/4" by 3 5/8" inside the mat, (11 5/8" by 8" as framed), each signed at lower right by the noted Italian watercolorist artist UMBERTO ONGANIA. Ongania's works are almost instantly recognizable by virtue of their detail, handling of light, and technical excellence. He was a consistent artist, and worked exclusively or nearly exclusively in watercolor, providing portable souvenirs for 19th century travelers making the Gr...

Impressionist oil on canvas painting of ships in a harbor, titled on stretcher "San Francisco Bay in 1840", signed at lower right "M. McDOWD" (MARGARET EPENETER McDOWD 1894-1990). The work, 24" by 30", unframed, is masterfully painted. with excellent handling of light and color, all somewhat intentionally hazy and muted. The steam engine at left seems to cast some doubt on the "1840" date portrayed; a later date, even to about 1920, would be accurate, given the type of ships and the appearance...

Oil on canvas painting of a fetching young woman, 30" by 24", unframed, signed at upper right corner "George E. Harris" and dated there 1929. The artist is American painter GEORGE EDGERLY HARRIS (1898-1938). Harris was born in Delaware and appears to have most of his auto accident-shortened life in the northeastern states. He was the son of Charles X. Harris of the Noank, Connecticut art colony, and a pupil of his father and of Charles Courtney Curran. The young Harris studied at the Art Stu...

Oil on canvas painting of water lilies, 20" by 16" (28 1/2" by 24 1/2" framed), signed at lower and signed again on the reverse, titled there "Pink Lilies & Reflections"/July 88, by the late Canadian impressionist artist RON SIMPKINS (1942-2008). This is a lushly painted work in the tradition of Monet, who the artist greatly admired, according to a tribute website posted on the net by a loving daughter. Simpkins was the son of Canadian artist Henry J. Simpkins, and continued his impression...

A rare prize for the specialist collector of Ohio art, this is an oil on canvas laid on board, the subject an impressionistic sketch of a patch of woodland in greens and browns, 8 5/8" by 11 1/2" plus narrow simple framing, signed in red at lower right "W. M. Darling". Darling is known today as the "Dean of Toledo Artists", a title earned after a lifetime of distinction in painting. Darling studied at age 14 with Henry Mosler in Cincinnati, and by 19 was in Europe with Mosler, exposed to the r...

Pastel on paper drawing, 6" by 10" (12 1/2" by 17" in its original fine old gilt American 19th century frame), signed at lower right "Stubbs", the subject a man in a small rowboat rounding a headland reflecting in the waters, other boats beyond. This is a scarce, to judge from the auction records, early drawing by the noted American marine artist WILLIAM PIERCE STUBBS (1842-1909). Stubbs is best known for his renderings in oil of clipper ships, these works appearing at the finest auctions of A...

**One of a number of works by the artist in my shop** This is a watercolor drawing....an outside possibility that it is a monotype (drawing made on glass or other surface, then pressed into paper, and therefore a unique work) by the noted 20th century French artist CHARLES LEVIER (1920-2003). Measurements are 18"by 13 3/4" (27" by 21 1/2" as framed). Condition is excellent with colors fresh and bright. Levier of course is a well known figure in twentieth century contemporary art. A prolific ar...

Note the fine detail in the figures and horses; the artist himself says that a "good drawing is the basis for a good painting". Edwards grew up in Idaho. Due to s...

Fine watercolor painting of the famous Chartres cathedral in central France, signed at lower right "G. Lefevre" and titled at lower right"Le Pont du Massacre a Chartres" at lower left. The work is by listed French artist GABRIEL ALBERT MARIE LEFEVRE. Not a lot of biographical information is available, but he painted landscapes and historical buildings in France in the 19th century. This work measures 6" by 8 3/4" inside the fine hand-drawn ornate mat, and 16 1/4" by 17 3/4" as framed. Condit...

Crayon drawing of two nude females, 13 1/2" by 9 1/2" inside the mat, 20" by 16" framed, bearing at lower right the stamped atelier signature of the important French artist ACHILLE-EMILE OTHON FRIESZ (1879-1949). On the reverse, a modern label gives the title as "Nude with Veil". Friesz was born in Le Havre to a family of shipbuilders and sea captains. He was educated there and went to Paris after the turn of the century, with his lifelong friend Raoul Dufy (see print by the latter in my shop...

Oil on canvas painting of a stand of trees by a small pond or lake in early autumn, 20" by 24" (25" by 29" as framed), signed at lower left by the listed California artist RICHARD VERNON JOHNSON (1905-2001, death date sometimes given as 2007). Johnson was born in Montana and moved with his family to Long Beach, California by 1920. He studied at Chouinard Art Institute and the University of Montana. Johnson taught at various institutions in Orange County. After World War 2 service, the artist...

Gouache on paper, 18 3/4" by 14 3/4" (28" by 24" framed), signed at lower right and dated 1945 by the listed Illinois-born artist ERWIN WILLIAM HOBBY (1892-1977). This is a classic landscape of high mountains in the American west---possibly Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho or Montana, or the Pacific Northwest. The peak has a volcanic look to it so I might lean towards Oregon or Washington or Northern California even. The artist was born in Joliet, Illinois, and died there. He was a member of t...

Oil on canvas painting of grouse in the snow among pines, 16" by 20", signed at lower right "Berta C. Richards 50", and titled in ink on the reverse "Spring Around the Corner/in Colo Foot Hills/Berta C. Richards/1950". I do not see a listing for the artist but this vintage oil is competently executed by a talented hand. The condition is excellent, since this has been protected actually behind glass, in the veneer-type frame often seen on Currier and Ives prints. I think you might well want to...

Small contemporary watercolor painting of traditional adobe buildings in New Mexico, a kiva oven in foreground, signed at lower left by Santa Clara Pueblo artist ROSALDA SPECKLED ROCK, wife of Paul Speckled Rock of local pottery making fame. This little work measures 5" by 7" in inexpensive black plastic framing. The artist is mentioned online as associated with a gallery studio offering her husband's pottery pieces, in northern New Mexico. I found this in Connecticut....no doubt, a souvenir ...

Oil on canvas impressionistic painting of an idealized street with old houses, trees and a few strolling figures, 24" by 36" (unframed), signed at lower left "F. H. McKay" and further identified in old penciled handwriting on the stretcher "Village on the Cove--Vermont" (and original $95.00 price is also written in two places). The artist is FRANCES H. McKAY (circa 1880-possibly 1969---biographical information is scarce online). McKay was apparently a female artist, though some have suggested...

By a listed Austrian-born California painter is this large oil on canvas, 34" by 40" (39" by 45" as framed), signed at lower left and dated there "40", the subject the classic, famous, and oft-painted historical Chateau de Chillon of Lord Byron fame, on the shores of Lake Geneva in western Switzerland. The Dents du Midi snow capped peaks rise in the distance, as swans ply the waters and fishermen in a boat at right complete the scene. This is a colorful painting by VICTOR H. NICKOL (1884-1956)...

Watercolor on heavy paper, 5 1/4" by 10", 10 1/4" by 14 1/2" in early 20th century dark laminated wood frame, signed at lower right in pencil "Della Vernon". DELLA VERNON (1876-1962) was an early California painter, the works of whom are considered scarce, according to the biography in the definitive Hughes Dictionary of California Artists. She was born in Iowa but was known to be in San Diego by 1901, and by 1909 she was in Oakland. The artist exhibited in those early years, and painted into...

Oil on canvas painting, signed at lower left "Charles T. Harris", late 20th century, the subject a red rock dramatic cliff of the Southwest, framed artistically by a large overhanging branch arching in from the right side. The work is very clean and ready to hang. This came from a local estate. The artist is talented but from what I can tell not listed. Size is 20" by 30" plus 2 1/2" wide on a side wood frame.

Oil on board painting of four wild horses in a corral under an immense western American sky, 17 1/2" by 21 1/2" framed, signed at lower right by American artist GRACE LORING BASSETT. There is some mention of the artist on the internet, most specifically as an illustrator in 1915 of a "Black Beauty" type book called "Don: His Recollections", a work about a horse, intended for children. There is also an auction history of a painting of a black spaniel, and internet research shows a Grace Loring...

Oil on canvas laid on board painting of small boats on a tree lined lake or river, buildings beyond, 9 1/2" by 11 1/4" in a contemporary simple frame 1 1/2" wide on a side, signed at lower right "C. Brockelmann" and dated there '13. This is a lovely, attractive, clean, pleasing work, ready for the wall despite being a century old, by the Austrian artist CAMILLO (CARL) BROCKELMANN (1883-1963). The artist seems to be rather obscure, even though listed; little biographical information is availabl...

Large oil on canvas, 30" by 40" (34" by 44" framed), unsigned, in its vintage original frame, the subject a desert track through sandy scrub, distant purplish mountains filling the background. Though unsigned, the heavily impastoed, impressionistic style and the scene and colors used are unquestionably the work of JAMES MERRIAM (1880-1951). Merriam was born in Canada and was studying in Detroit, before arriving in Southern California. He traveled the Southwest and California, painting the des...

Watercolors on paper, each 6 1/4" by 4 1/4" inside the mats (11" by 9" overall, unframed), each signed at bottom center with the distinctive signature of California Scene artist JAKE LEE. These paintings appear to be studies of spring flowers like jonquils and perhaps asters. Jake Lee's works are increasingly sought after by collectors in the wake of his relatively recent passing. These works are clean examples in excellent condition. They should likely receive clean new mats before framing. ...

Oil on canvas painting of flowers in a vase in an interior space, 23 1/2" by 25 3/4", signed at lower right by German artist ROLF REGELE (1899-1987). Regele was a student of Rudolf Stolz, and he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. He painted generally landscapes of the Tirol region of Austria and Italy, as well as still life. During the 1930's his paintings were often reproduced full size and on post cards. The artist settled in Bolzano in the Tyrolean Alps, in the border area of ...

A fine pastel drawing of a small structure that appears to be almost adobe-like, surrounded by trees, signed at lower left and dated there 1970 by American artist WILLIAM BEAL (1914-1995). The work measures 9 3/4" by 14 1/4" (17 1/2" by 21 1/2" in silvery mid century frame). Beal was the son of important American artist Gifford Beal and nephew of Reynolds Beal. Born in New York City, he spent much time in Maine at Port Clyde and on Monhegan Island, becoming friendly with artists Edwin Gunn an...

Pastel on paper laid on board, the subject fruits and a porcelain cup on a tabletop, a vase with at top center, 20" by 15 1/2" (27" by 23" as framed), signed at lower right "Olds" (MARION VALE OLDS 1901-1993). The work is a fine example by this talented woman artist, the cramped artistic space and carefully thought-out arrangement of the objects in that space indicative of an artist of great talent who is taking from Cezanne as well as the WPA (I would guess the age as circa 1930's or 1940's). ...

Oil on canvas landscape with peat diggers, 16" by 20", 26" by 29 3/4" as framed, signed at the lower right in white "Marjoram". This is a fine work by the well listed, often auctioned Irish artist GERALD (Jerry or Gerry) MARJORAM, (1936-). Marjoram was born in Dublin and tutored by Maurice McGonigal and Sean Keating; by 1970 he was painting full time. Since then he has achieved considerably notoriety in Ireland, his works handled by fine galleries in Dublin and Galway; one of his largest oils...

Watercolor on paper of a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, I think Pirates Alley, 19" by 13" inside the mat and 28 1/2" by 22 1/2" as framed, signed discretely at lower left near the fence by the listed New Orleans artist TOM LANE (1916-1991). Lane was born in Toledo, Ohio but became a familiar figure in the French Quarter, painting in oil and watercolor the familiar and much-loved scenes frequented by tourists. This would appear to be an especially fine, and very early (I would gue...

Large unframed abstract oil or acrylic on canvas, 51" by 35", unframed, signed at lower right and dated there "74", **TOGETHER WITH A PENCIL SIGNED AND NUMBERED LITHOGRAPH PRINT**, both by the well listed French contemporary painter, author, printmaker and photographer, CLAUDE HILAIRE HASTAIRE (1946-). Hastaire, the son of the well known French modern painter Camille Hilaire, is the subject of many monographs, and his works have appeared in over 100 solo and group exhibitions, as well as numero...

Large acrylic on canvas contemporary painting, 56" by 48", unframed, titled on reverse "St. Sebastian", also dated 3/81 and signed there, by the well listed, widely-exhibited American artist, RUSS WARREN (1951-). The painting is striking, the figure shot full with arrows in a strange and surreal, magical landscape, mystery and symbolism and allegory surrounding the scene. Warren, still painting today in Charlottesville, Virginia, has been active for more than 40 years, his style changing and e...

Oil on canvas painting of a peaceful landscape in England, 24" by 16", and with newer frame 2" wide, signed at lower right corner by the well known and prolific English late nineteenth century landscape artist ABRAHAM HULK, Junior (1851-1922). The scene is a rural idyll, with a clouding-over sky threatening a storm, feathery trees, a cottage at center, English ancient country church, chickens and cows, a stream entering the scene from the lower left corner. This is rather typical subject matte...

Watercolor on paper, 10 1/4" by 5 1/4" (15 1/2" by 10 1/2" framed), the subject apparently an ornate inner courtyard of a famous Portuguese palace and present day tourist magnet, the Sintra National Palace near Lisbon. I am guessing on this, having googled various possibilities, but comparing the window style, wonderful tile details and the castellated ledge at top, I think the odds are excellent that this be the Portuguese subject. Inchbold (1856-1921) was an English-born artist who traveled ...

Oil on canvas, 12" by 16", (19 1/2" by 23 1/2"), the scene a white stuccoed house among flowering vines and subtropical vegetation on a sunny Mediterranean coastline, as one would expect to find in Italy, the work signed at lower right with a signature appearing to be "C. Rontini" or similar. The work is purely decorative and likely dates to the 1960's or 1970's. There is dry paint in the sky area, with a fine craquelure pattern. Otherwise the painting

This is an unsigned oil on paper laid on board work, quite possibly an oil study for a more finished painting, circa 1870's, by the 19th century American painter JUNIUS SLOAN (1827-1900), the subject trees silhouetted against an extensive landscape, two ladies in period dress at center left, several houses in the middle distance, and two tiny cows grazing at right. The painting, 6" by 12", 9" by 15" in 20th century framing, is titled on the reverse of the board in old penciled hand, difficult t...

Watercolor on paper drawing of a gentle coastal beach backed by small sand dunes, (14" by 29 1/2" and 22 1/2" by 36 1/2" framed), signed at lower left "G H Flavelle" (GEORGE H.
