$160 USD Offers ConsideredJANICE LOVOOS (1903-2007) California watercolor art still life painting
Fine Art:Drawings:American:20th Century:California Watercolor
This is a watercolor still life, 20 1/2" by 13 1/2" inside the mat (28 1/2" by 21 1/2" as framed), signed at lower left by listed California artist JANICE DOLORES LOVOOS (1903-2007). Lovoos was born in Iowa but was in California as a child, and in the course of her long life she became a noted painter. It is for her watercolors that she is best known, the subject matter usually a still life or landscape. Lovoos died in Orange County at the end of 2007 and a number of her works have since entered ...
$1,250 USD Offers ConsideredMILFORD ZORNES (1908-2008) California Scene art black ink watercolor painting of river and trees
Fine Art:Drawings:California Art
Dramatic black ink drawing, 21" by 28" (28 3/4" by 35 3/4" as framed), signed at lower right and dated 75, by recently deceased California watercolor master artist MILFORD ZORNES (1908-2008). I actually wasn't aware he had passed on until I just pulled up the askart site for details of his highly distinguished career. Zornes has been a familiar name on the California art scene for so long that it is difficult to believe that he has passed from it. Paintings dating back to the WPA 1930's, in ...
$200 USD Offers ConsideredGUSTAVE A. BRAND (1863-1944) American art watercolor painting classical lovers in a garden
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:Watercolor
Watercolor on paper, 15" by 11" inside the mat (21" by 17" as framed), signed at lower right by listed American artist GUSTAVE A. BRAND (1863-1944). This is a nicely crafted work of an overly ardent suitor chasing his classically dressed prey in an overgrown garden setting. The artist is not well known but he is listed and was apparently known in Chicago and the Midwest as a muralist. The condition of the work is excellent and this could be placed directly on the wall, though I'm not sure the ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredEuropean decorative signed old watercolor painting of windmills along an estuary at sunset
Fine Art:Drawings:Europe:20th Century

$2,500 USD Offers ConsideredAUGUST LAUX (1847-1921) trompe l'oeil style vintage American still life painting
Fine Art:Drawings:American 19th Century:Still Life
Oil on canvas, 12" by 16" and a decorative old ornate frame approximately 4" wide on a side, signed at lower left with the typical signature of noted American still life painter AUGUST LAUX (1847-1921). Laux was born in Germany near the French border and he spent his early life in the Strasbourg area, where he was exposed to art at an early age. By 1863 he was in New York where he initially became known for his murals in public buildings and large homes, but later in life he painted still lifes ...
$475 USD Offers ConsideredOriginal wildlife art painting of wild turkeys in the brush dated 1974 by Alberto Meza
Fine Art:Drawings:Wildlife And Sporting Art
One of three paintings I'm offering by the artist, this is a highly finished work, I think in tempera somehow highlighted with a protective slightly glossy coating of some type, the Crescent art board measuring 14" by 18" (framed 21 1/2" by 27 1/4"), signed at lower right "Alberto Meza" and dated there "74". The subject is a pair of wild turkeys walking through a brushy arid landscape (note the cacti at left---perhaps somewhere like west Texas). The artist's skill in drawing and coloring the ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredGREGORY JENKINSON -2006) listed Arizona artist Taos New Mexico drawing
Fine Art:Drawings:American Southwest
Colored pencil (brown) drawing on paper of the famous Taos Pueblo at Taos, New Mexico, 8 5/8" by 11 1/2" inside the mat (15" by 18" as framed), signed at lower right by listed artist GREGORY JENKINSON and dated 1986. Jenkinson was English by birth but moved to the Southwest and his art is associated with that part of the world. He's particularly known for his images of the famous and historical Taos Pueblo. Jenkinson passed away in the year 2006. This piece is clean and ready for the wall, frame ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredADRIAAN TERHELL (1863-1949) Dutch art watercolor boats at the coast
Fine Art:Drawings:Dutch Art
Watercolor on paper, 14 1/2" by 10 1/2" and 3" margins/frame on all sides, signed at lower left by the artist, ADRIAAN CHRISTIAN W. TERHELL. Terhell was a Dutch artist and windmills and canals are often the subjects of his works. This one shows a beached simple sailing craft at the beach at low tide, other boats visible in the background. There appears to be a date below the signature; I believe it says "43". On the reverse is a sticker from a Dutch gallery in Gravenhage. The artist's works ...
$395 USD Offers ConsideredBENJAMIN MORAN DALE (1889-1951) American illustrator art detailed watercolor painting of colonial scene
Fine Art:Drawings:20th Century American:Watercolor
Watercolor directly on Whatman illustration art board painting, of a military ceremony, including the presentation of the flag, in front of a colonial American house, in colonial times, measuring 13 1/4" by 18 1/8" inside the mat (21" by 26" as framed). The painting is signed at lower right corner by noted artist BEN DALE (1889-1951). Dale is listed in a number of reference works. He was a commercial illustrator (including magazines like Ladies Home Journal) who apparently worked in the ...
$725 USD Offers ConsideredROLAND STRASSER (1897-1974) important Austrian artist watercolor painting
Fine Art:Drawings:Europe:20th Century
Gouache on paper, 14 1/2" by 19 1/2", (21" by 26" as framed), signed at lower right in black with the distinctive signature of major Austrian 20th century artist ROLAND STRASSER (1897-1974). This is an image of a horse corral backed by a forest. Strasser's Indonesian and Bali subject matter has brought to the vicinity of $75,000 at major auctions. He traveled extensively, especially in Asia, during his lifetime. This work is in superb, fresh condition. I've discarded the old non glare glass but ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredEnglish trompe l'oeil detailed watercolor still life painting circa turn of the century or Victorian by Royal Academy artist
Fine Art:Drawings:Watercolor:English 19th Century
Watercolor on paper trompe l'oeil still life of wild bird, seeds, and other natural objects, 15 1/2" by 11 1/2" (24 1/2" by 20 1/2" as framed), signed boldly at lower left "Herbert Turrell". This is a beautiful, delicate work by an obviously talented artist who, according to my google research, exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy in at least the early years of the twentieth century. He is listed as having submitted watercolors in the years 1904 and 1906. I don't see much about him ...
$500 USD Offers ConsideredCalifornia Scene circa 1940s regionalist art watercolor painting Olvera Street Los Angeles
Fine Art:Drawings:American:20th Century:California Watercolor
Watercolor on paper of Olvera Street and the top of City Hall in downtown Los Angeles, 22" by 16 1/2" (29" by 23" as framed), signed at lower right "Stark". I am not sure which "Stark" this might be, as there are two listed in Hughes that might fit---an "Elizabeth Lee Lowe Stark" (1886-1963) and a "Jack Gage Stark" (1882-1950). Whoever the artist, he or she was skilled in the use of the notoriously difficult medium known as watercolor! You can feel the palms blowing, hear the Mexican at lower ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredWestern American watercolor painting of a doe and faun in a mountain landscape dated and signed
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:Western American Art
Watercolor on paper, 12 1/2" by 18 1/4" inside the present mat, 19 1/2" by 26" as framed, signed "TOWNLEY" at lower right corner and dated there "Oct. 68". I don't see a listing that would match up with this name but the artist was obviously a talented individual. This appears to be a western mountain landscape in one of the western states. The trees and the animals are beautifully executed, and there's a superb little ink drawing of a fox near the signature. Condition is excellent, though it ...
$825 USD Offers ConsideredKATHRYN LEIGHTON (1875-1952) watercolor painting of roses by master of indian portraits and Southwest landscapes
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:20th Century
Watercolor on paper, 13 1/2" by 20 7/8" (22 3/8" by 29 3/4" as framed), signed at lower right by noted American painter KATHRYN WOODMAN LEIGHTON (1875-1952). Woodman is today best known for her Joseph Sharp/Taos School or E.A. Burbank style portraits of indians, but she also painted landscapes and as we see here, still life. See askart for more information on the artist. This painting is in excellent condition, save for some rippling of paper especially at upper left, which the photos (angle of ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredGENE (EUGENIA) FRANCES BAKER McCOMAS (1886-1982) Northern California artist charcoal drawing tropical scene
Fine Art:Drawings:American 20th Century:California Art
This is a masterful drawing with a definite modernist touch, by well listed artist GENE McCOMAS (1886-1982), depicting a tropical house under palms, likely in the South Seas---perhaps Tahiti. The artist was San Francisco-born, and is associated with the Bay Area and the Monterey-Carmel area, but she and her husband traveled extensively and obviously produced art in these exotic locations. She studied with Xavier Martinez and was a muralist, but worked in many media. Her work is sometimes ...
$295 USD Offers ConsideredALFRED BIRDSEY (1912-1996) original painting by well known Bermuda artist
Fine Art:Drawings:Bermuda Art
This is a rather typical work of the noted Bermudian artist ALFRED BIRDSEY (1912-1996). Birdsey was a familiar figure in Bermuda for decades, a prolific artist, the works of whom traveled home with tourists to the island. This would account for the wide distribution of his distinctive work. Today his daughter continues the family tradition, with similar looking paintings being sold to visitors. Birdsey worked in gouache or possibly oil or acrylic on paper. Some works are more detailed than ...
$100 USD Offers ConsideredAmerican pastel landscape drawing by ANDREW GUNDERSON (1888-1964)
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:Pastel
Pastel on paper laid on board, " by " (" by " as simply framed---no glass), signed at lower right by noted American pastel artist ANDREW GUNDERSON (1888-1964). This is a rather typical example by the artist, who is grouped today with such pastellists as William Chandler and Glatthaar. These artists around the turn of the century and the early years of the 20th century produced large numbers of original pastel landscapes and still life images, which are today very widely distributed around the US ...
$320 USD Offers ConsideredDUVAL RUBY BEARDEN ELIOT (1909-1990) California art pencil drawing WPA style
Fine Art:Drawings:California Art
Pencil drawing on heavy paper of a happy chef draped over a chair and holding a lobster and corn or celery, 14 1/2" by 11 1/4", signed at lower right by listed California artist DUVAL ELIOT. Her biography appears in askart and in Hughes' dictionary of California artists. Eliot was Arkansas-born, and was in California as a child. She worked in a number of media, including printmaking, sculpture, and painting. This example has a really WPA type look to it. It looks just like a 1930s or 1940s ...
$325 USD Offers ConsideredMAX PAPART (1911-1994) modern French art cubist poster with original 1981 felt pen drawing by the artist
Fine Art:Drawings:French Art:Comtemporary French Art
This is a 32 1/4" by 28 1/2" poster from California's "The Upstairs Gallery", showing one of Max Papart's colorful, cubist-inspired images, but as a bonus, there's an ORIGINAL FELT TIP PEN DRAWING by the artist filling the lower right corner. It shows a woman's head, he hand pointing to a Picasso-like image of a bird and the sun. The drawing is inscribed "To Elizabeth Gene avec amitie/Max Papart/Los Angeles/X-XXIII-LXXXI" (October 23, 1981). The poster and drawing are in excellent condition with ...

Club". Kingman was one of the most important American watercolor artists of the twentieth century. California born of Chinese ancestry, Kingman traveled widely both in and outside the US, and today his works are coveted from Hong Kong to New York and beyond, bringing many ...
$525 USD Offers ConsideredWILLIAM JOSEPH SCHALDACH (1896-1982) American well listed wildlife art watercolor of bird
Fine Art:Drawings:20th Century American:Watercolor:Wildlife And Sporting Art
Original watercolor on paper, 6" by 10" (12" by 16" as framed), signed at lower right "William J. Schaldach, Jr." and inscribed at left "To Nellie, with love, from Billy". This could be an oriole but I can't be sure of that identification! This is a very clean work and it appears not to have been opened since the 1960's or 1970's. A few tiny black spots visible in some photos, I just noticed, are on the glass and not the art itself. The artist is a well recognized painter and printmaker of ...
$135 USD Offers ConsideredDAVIS SCHWARTZ (1879-1969) California plein air art landscape pencil drawing
Fine Art:Drawings:California Plein Air Art
Beautifully executed drawing in soft pencil, 8 1/2" by 11 1/2" sheet, 6 1/2" by 9 1/2" inside the rectangular border drawn by the artist, and 10 1/4" by 13 5/8" as framed, signed at lower right "Davis F. Schwartz", showing a copse of trees in a hilly landscape. This drawing, which reminds me of works by Ralph Holmes or Maynard Dixon, is nicely framed in a 1930's or 1940's frame, and ready for your wall. Schwartz (1879-1969) has a sizable listing in Hughes' "Artists in California 1786-1940". ...
$125 USD Offers ConsideredMICHAEL LENSON (1903-1971) WPA American Scene era pencil drawing of woman
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:20th Century:Wpa Era
Pencil on thin tissue like paper drawing of a woman, 17" by 11 3/4", unframed, signed at lower right by noted WPA era realist American artist MICHAEL LENSON (1903-1971). The drawing is not dated but was likely created sometime during the 1930's or 1940's. With age and handling, the drawing now has some condition issues, such as heavy browning of the paper, a small puncture in the upper right arm area, and most notably a vertical split in the paper roughly 5 1/2" long, extending from the top of ...
$375 USD Offers ConsideredAmerican illustration art large oil canvas painting after NORMAN ROCKWELL "Coin Toss"
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:20th Century:Illustration Art:Norman Rockwell
For the Norman Rockwell fan, here is an unusual item: a very large (53" by 40") oil on unstretched canvas (and about 6" overlap on a side), not framed, after Norman Rockwell's famous Saturday Evening Post cover of October 21, 1950, variously titled "Coin Toss", "The Toss", or "The Referee". This was painted by a talented copyist. Note the "homage to Norman Rockwell" and the simulated signature at lower left corner. This highly decorative work would be a most unusual addition to a sports bar, ...
$800 USD Offers ConsideredBENJAMIN RUTHERFORD FITZ (1855-1891) listed American art signed watercolor rural scene dated 1883
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:Watercolor:Nineteenth Century
This is a beautiful DOUBLE SIDED watercolor dated 1883 by the hand of listed American 19th century artist BENJAMIN FITZ (1855-1891), measuring 11 1/2" by 18 3/4" plus about 3 1/2" of liner and modern frame. I'm not sure as to the authorship of the loose dry landscape on the reverse, which might be later and by a totally unrelated hand....The subject matter of the primary, signed painting is a rural scene of farm buildings by a small pond on which swim two ducks, their trails in the water plainly ...
$1,750 USD Offers ConsideredJACK HINES (1923-) well listed western American artist original 1984 detailed watercolor of Paris scene
Fine Art:Drawings:Western American Art
Watercolor on paper painting of a street scene in a French city, probably Paris, 18" by 10 1/2" inside the mat (29" by 21" as framed), signed at lower left "JackHines" followed by "NWR" and the date 1984 preceded by the copyright symbol. This is somewhat atypical subject matter for this well known artist of the American West. Hines is listed in the authoritative 1982 landmark book "Contemporary Western Artists" by Peggy and Harold Samuels. The biography there tells of an artist who was born in ...

BOWDISH", not dated but certainly late 19th century. Bowdish is today associated with the historical and charming Finger Lakes New York community known as Skaneateles. The painting reminds me of some New England coastal works of the artists Alfred Thompson Bricher or Edmund Darch Lewis. Condition is only ...
