Original ink on paper drawing of four ducks in flight over a swamp or marsh, circa 1930's, signed at lower right with initials "P.Z.", which appears to correspond with inscription on backing "Painted or sketched by Paul Zeeze". At top on backing, is written "James Zeeze". Online research suggests the name may be found in Minnesota, which would make sense with duck habitat. Measures 10" by 6 1/4" inside the mat and 14 3/4" by 10 3/4" in black strip frame.
A white ink on tan paper line drawing of a young Polynesian woman, signed at lower left and dated there 1956, by the well-known, important Hawaiian modernist artist MADGE TENNENT (1889-1956). The work measures 12" by 9" and is currently unframed, protected just in a sleeve, the backing bearing a rubber stamp of Juniper Arts, Honolulu, Hawaii. Tennent was born in England and led a long and distinguished life in the fine arts...
A beautiful, colorful, large print in excellent condition, "Sydney", 1985, pencil signed at lower right by the artist and numbered there 35/100, the measurements 21" by 32" inside the mat (27" by 38" in silver metal framing). KEN DONE (born 1940) is a very well-known artist both in Australia and abroad. He grew up in Sydney and attended art school there before in the 1960's joining the J. Walter Thompson international advertising agency...
Joseph Harry Anderson (1906-1996) produced some of the most memorable commercial art of the mid 20th century, capturing the nostalgic mood of a mythical and bygone America...
A large, impressive drawing on paper, 26" by 42" (30" by 46" in strip framing), the subject "on the range"---cowboys and their cattle on the range in a beautiful, luminous, "Marlboro Man" landscape. The artist signed at lower right and dated the piece 1979. I believe the media used are gouache, pastel, and maybe color pencil, which he was known to employ...basically, a "mixed media" drawing, and very large for a drawing...
A fine mixed media work (appears to be a textured gesso mixed with sand), that unusual medium overpainted with orange, white and sky blue in a vertical format, the work signed lower right in ink "B. Rahmi" and dated there 1962. Measurements are 11 3/8" by 7 3/4" **(29 cm. by 20 cm.)**, and (14 1/4" by 10 7/8" framed in a kind of shadowbox arrangement, behind glass and linen liner, in a gold leaf frame)...
A beautiful fresh example of a 1969 poster featuring the work of famed Mexican artist RUFINO TAMAYO (1899-1991), **HAND SIGNED** by the artist in ballpoint pen at lower left just above the white "Tamayo". The poster commemorates one of many exhibitions of the artist's work at the well-known Bernard Lewin Galleries in Palm Springs and Beverly Hills, California. Tamayo and Lewin had a longtime business relationship, Lewin promoting Tamayo tirelessly...
This pastoral scene depicts sheep in a mountainous area, causing me to believe that it may be European in origin. The artist has captured 6 sheep peacefully grazing on grass, with no shepherd seen. The serenity is enhanced by the calming green of the grass and the blues of the sky and distant mountain.
The linen on canvas is mounted on board, and framed under glass in what I believe is a refurbished frame which is generally in excellent condition...
Oil on canvas painting of flowers in a vase, "Gladiolas", 21" by 18", signed at lower right "Shimo" and dated there 59. The artist is OSAMU SHIMODA (1924-2000). This work came out of an eclectic collection of mostly mid 20th century Hawaiian art, much of it apparently purchased in Hawaii at that time; this one retains an old label on stretcher from Sima's Art Gallery, Ala Moana Center, Honolulu 14, Hawaii...

This splendid oil on board renders a charming cape cod house overlooking the ocean. There is a road passing to its front. It is all too serene and peaceful. Given the calmness of the waves, speculate that the ocean is the Pacific. It is signed E Harkins in the lower left. Its simplicity and unpretentiousness reminds me of Edward Hopper's or Andrew Wyeth's work...
A hard to find lithographic print by Andrew Wyeth entitled Flour Mill, published by the New York Graphic Society in 1985. The print is still in its cellophane wrapper, mounted on a foam board. It is housed in an economy frame.
The elements of this composition conspire to impress the viewer with poignant simplicity and elegance.
Condition of print is pristine.
Dimensions: 24.25" w, .5" d, 36.25" h
Any defects of this art is in the frame...
Unsigned oil portrait of a woman in her 30's or 40's, painted on a ceramic plate, roughly 10" to 11" diameter (squarish shape). The piece is likely by the noted Chinese-Californian artist George Chann (also known by his Chinese name Chen Yin-Pi) (1913-1995), judging from the distinctive technique...
A contemporary (new/newish) oil on canvas painting of a late 19th century hybrid sail and steamship, (of the type common in the 1880's and 1890's), 24" by 36" (35" by 46 1/2" framed), unsigned. Beautifully hand painted by an obviously skilled artist. Condition is excellent. The attractive framing is very heavy and apparently of a dense wood. These sorts of paintings though not old and antique are appealing and being of more recent origin are usually found in good condition. If you are seeki...
An interesting painting of a rather ruddy-faced gent, in a dark jacket with a striped yellow waistcoat, holding a book at the bottom center. The reverse of the case has blue and yellow striped fabric and a lock of hair, all under beveled glass which has worn reverse painted gilding. The gilded metal case is 2" by 1 7/8".
A charming first half 19th centrury miniature of a young woman. The exceptional thing about this piece is the wonderful high karat gold flip case with guilloche work (engine turning) on the front and back. The painting in this little gem is 1 1/8" in diameter and the case is 1 1/2" in diameter. Excellent condition.
