Watercolor on Quilted Rice Paper Original Art Siamese Cats Southern Artist Fine Textile Painting

Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor Or Gouache

 

Offering for sale a fabulous original from our personal collection. This is an original painting, one of a kind, of a beautiful Siamese cat, painted in watercolor ( I believe, it could be a thin acrylic, same technique) on rice paper. Even more wonderful, the rice paper has been quilted with gold stitches. The artist is Joanne Seigenthaler, living in Nashville at the time this was purchased, we believe she is now deceased. We purchased this along with two other of her works (also for sale in this shop) at the Tennessee Art League circa 1980. She was very active in that league as well as watercolor societies, and we know little else about the artist., we bought it from exhibit. It is signed but not dated or titled. The overall size is 24 by 20" in a white mat, which needs to be replaced due to age darkening. The exposed size of the painting as shown is 19 & 3/8" by 15 & 1/2" approximately. This painting is under acetate protector, and has been since we purchased it, we removed it for the photos. It has never been framed or hung and is in wonderful condition with no light fading or wear at all. Her technique is wonderful, I love the shiny gold accents throughout the painting, accented more with the gold stitching, this does not show up well in the photos, but is lovely.
