A very attractive floral still life, 30" by 24" (37" by 31" framed), quite light and airy with white predominating, signed at lower right by by the hand of noted California-born artist PAUL MATHENIA (1946-). This is a beautifully worked oil on canvas painting of flowers in a table top vase, signed at lower right with the artist's typical signature. Mathenia was born in Bakersfield, California and showed early artistic talent as a youngster. He received art instruction at various venues in Southern California. By 1980 he had moved to Oregon. Mathenia's paintings of landscapes and still life have been made into limited edition lithographs. This painting is in excellent condition. I think it one of the most attractive and accomplished works by this artist that I have seen. It resembles still life paintings by well known painters such as Marcel Dyf, or the so-called "Wally Findlay" artists. Condition is excellent; just some foxing to the reverse side, perhaps from having been stored for a time in a damp area.
