$575 USD Offers ConsideredDON FAY (20th century California art) plein air watercolor painting of Malibu Pier
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Watercolor on paper, 16 1/4" by 16 1/4" inside the mat (and 27 1/4" by 27 1/4" as framed), signed at lower right by listed, noted Southern California watercolor artist DON FAY. This is a colorful, beautifully executed work, which in better economic times sold for $2000 at a John Moran auction (THIS EXACT PIECE DID). Condition is excellent with vibrant colors and no foxing/fading. The frame is functional and all in all the piece is ready for the wall. The artist himself kindly contacted me after ...
$120 USD Offers ConsideredVintage California art 1954 signed palette knife painting of Bird Rocks Laguna Beach
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on thin board, 9" by 12" and narrow period frame, oil applied thickly with palette knife, not signed on front but on reverse is written "Bird Rocks/Laguna/Arthur Gail Anderson/May 1954"; This is a vintage look at a familiar landmark in Laguna Beach, the center of the early California art movement. I see a listing for an Arthur G. Anderson born in 1935, known for wildlife art, but I'm not at all certain that this is that artist.. The painting has dirty varnish and would benefit considerably ...
$795 USD Offers ConsideredARTHUR CARL WEIGLE vintage California plein air art 1930 painting of Santa Barbara Mission
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas, 20" by 16" and simple wood frame 1 3/4" wide, signed at lower left in capital letters by the artist, ARTHUR CARL WEIGLE, and dated there "30". This is a charming scene of an earlier California, the iconic subject being the 18th century Mission Santa Barbara. Note the figure curled up on the steps, the leaning palm, and the beautifully painted eucalyptus leaves. The overall light palette reminds one of C. W. Nicholson's works or possibly Dana Bartlett. Amazingly I don't see a ...
$695 USD Offers ConsideredFERDINAND BURGDORFF (1881-1975) California plein air art Yosemite waterfall rainbow painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on masonite, 15 1/2" by 11 3/4", titled on reverse in the artist's hand "Bridal Veil Falls Yosemite", and signed at lower left by noted well listed and auctioned California artist FERDINAND BURGDORFF (1881-1975). The artist was most associated with the the Monterey Peninsula where he spent most of his life, though he traveled widely. According to the Hughes listing, Burgdorff was born in Ohio, studied in Paris, and was in California by his mid twenties. Subsequently he traveled to the Grand ...
$3,950 USD Offers ConsideredANGEL ESPOY (1879-1963) California plein air art vintage impressionist painting stream among oak trees
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
For the collector of quality listed California art, this is a fine rendition of oak trees along a quiet shaded stream, measuring 20" by 30" (24 1/2" by 35 1/2" as framed in its original period frame). It's signed by the artist at lower right and on reverse stretcher in pencil, "The Oaks" is written twice, as well as "Original oil by Angel Espoy" in old hand. There is an old original blue label on reverse from Royar's Frame Shop, 717 S. Figueroa, Los Angeles. This painting was found in ...
$175 USD Offers ConsideredALFRED J. CASELLA (1886-1971) San Francisco California artist landscape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
This is an oil on canvasboard work, 14" by 18" plus 3 1/4" frame, by listed California artist ALFRED J. CASELLA (1886-1971). According to the Hughes listing, Casella was San Francisco born and lived there his entire life. This work appears to be a Northern California scene in the summertime. It's painted in an unusual manner that I can only describe as almost like a child's fingerpainting.....thin paint quickly but very skilfully moved around, the end result being a powerful and complete ...
$995 USD Offers ConsideredALFRED JAMES WANDS (1904-1998) American impressionist art seascape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvasboard of an apparently California coastal scene, 20" by 24" (24 1/2" by 28 1/2" as framed), signed at lower right, not dated but likely circa 1950's, as there is a 1960 date on the old New Jersey framer's sticker on the reverse. This is a classic impressionist work of the California coast by a talented listed artist who also worked in Europe, Ohio, New Mexico in the course of a long career. Wands was born in Ohio, educated in Europe, and went on to paint in such artist colonies as ...
$1,150 USD Offers ConsideredERNEST BROWNING SMITH (1866-1951) California plein air art nocturne seascape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas nocturne style painting of a wave, 24" by 30" (28" by 34" as framed) by listed California artist ERNEST BROWNING SMITH (1866-1951). Smith is a familiar artist on the plein air scene and I believe his works are presently underrated in the marketplace. The artist had a trademark style; often the scenes in my experience are simplified, devoid of figures, and in a limited color palette. This nocturne is executed in shades of blue. It doesn't appear to be signed on the front but in old ...
$650 USD Offers ConsideredHERBERT SARTELLE (1885-1958) California plein air art autumn mountain landscape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas, 12" by 16" (17" by 21" as framed---and likely original frame), signed at lower right by popular listed California artist HERBERT SARTELLE (1885-1958). This is a classic autumn scene of large trees and a lake with distant mountains, executed in Sartelle's unique impressionistic style. The painting probably dates to the 1940s or 1950s. It is in good condition with the typical large cracking seen in a number of his paintings, (visible especially in the sky---see photo). The frame has ...
$175 USD Offers ConsideredCalifornia plein air art impressionistic desert painting circa 1950's
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvasboard, 12" by 16" (17" by 21" as framed), signed at lower right by artist CURT PAULSON. I don't see a listing but the artist had a skilled hand. The style reminds me a little of William Darling or Fred Chisnall. There's impasto, vigorous brush stroke, and a grayish blue light over the scene. Apparently original whitish antiqued frame completes this ready for the wall package. Condition is excellent. Email me with any questions. Shipping wizard figures are guesstimates. SEE HUNDREDS ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredWILLIAM ARTHUR PAXTON (1873-1965) California plein air art high desert painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas, 17" by 21", unframed, showing a dirt road in the high desert, a hillside ablaze with orange poppies, signed in red at lower right "WA Paxton". This is a work, circa 1950's most likely, by WILLIAM ARTHUR PAXTON (1873-1965), a listed plein air artist. According to the Hughes listing, Paxton was born in Canada and died in New Mexico. In between, in the course of a 92 year life span, he traveled to Colorado and Alaska, working the Klondike gold rush; painted on Cape Cod, Massachusetts ...
$145 USD Offers ConsideredCalifornia plein air art desert mountains 1936 signed painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas painting of desert mountains with a small structure in the middle distance, 20" by 24" (25 1/2" by 29 1/2" as framed), signed indecipherably at lower left and dated 1936 or 1938. This is at this point a seriously compromised painting that at one time was a prime example of California plein air art. At first glance from a distance, the creamy colored patches on the mountains appear to be just part of the sandy desert wastes, but upon closer examination one can see this is missing ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredTED CHRISTENSEN (1911-1998) listed California art PAIR of paintings of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
This is a **PAIR** of unframed paintings in acrylic on masonite (one appears to be on a thin, gauzy type of canvas laid on masonite), one 18" by 24", one 24" by 12" by noted Northern California artist TED CHRISTENSEN (1911-1998). Neither is signed on the front but they are typical of the subject matter and technique of the artist. Both are inscribed on the back; one says "#89-1 TED CHRISTENSEN/ACRYLIC - 12" x 24"; the other says "9002 -GOLDEN DATE/TED CHRISTENSEN/ACRYLIC 18" by 24". The vertical ...
$395 USD Offers ConsideredRICHARD DETREVILLE (1864-1929) Northern California plein air listed art redwood forest painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas laid on board, 15 3/4" by 8" and 1 3/8" wide beautiful original pie crust frame in excellent condition, unsigned, but without a doubt the distinctive work of noted and prolific Northern California painter RICHARD DETREVILLE. Detreville was born in South Carolina in 1864, and by the early years of the new century, he was in Stockton publishing a magazine. Shortly thereafter he was in San Francisco, represented by a gallery. The artist painted Lake Tahoe, the north coast, the ...
$775 USD Offers ConsideredJ.W. ORTH (1889-1976) California plein air art impressionist seascape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas impressionistic seascape with fine brush work, measuring 25" by 30" and 3" wide wood frame, signed at lower right J.W. ORTH, undated but likely circa 1950's to early 60's. This is a pleasing, vigorously painted oil of waves and rocks off the Southern California coast. Born in Bavaria (Germany), Orth came to California in 1938. A prolific painter, even into his later years, Orth painted in Texas and Mexico as well. Today his works are held in such collections as that of the Los ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredSigned California seascape at sunset painting in the style of Robert Wood
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas, seascape at sunset, unframed, measuring 24" by 40", signed at lower right "Sydney Holbrook". I've looked for a listing but to date have not found information on the artist. Most certainly it resembles the works of famous California painter Robert Wood, and it is interesting to speculate if Holbrook knew of the artist's work. The condition is good, with general light soiling and a lack of varnish. If you like Wood's work but don't have the cash to spend on a real Wood, check out ...
$875 USD Offers ConsideredEUGENE FRANDZEN (1893-1972) California art desert scene plein air painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas laid on board, 14" by 18" and 2" wide frame, of a California low desert landscape with distant snowy peaks, signed at lower left and bearing old pencil notation on reverse "Eug. Frandzen". This is a classic desert plein air painting, in need of a professional cleaning. There's overall soiling that dulls the colors and subtleties of this painting. Frandzen was born in San Diego in the early year 1893. By the teens he was in Chicago at the Art Institute for training. According to the ...
$1,500 USD Offers ConsideredBENNETT BRADBURY (1914-1991) California plein air art coastal seascape oil painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas scene of crashing waves on a mountainous coastline of California or Oregon on a cloudy day, 16" by 24" (19" by 27 1/2" as framed), signed in the typical manner in the wet paint, at lower right, by noted California painter BENNETT BRADBURY (1914-1991). This is a fine plein air work by an artist who is today well known among collectors of California coastal scenes. Prices have escalated in recent years from the hundreds into the thousands; a particularly large example brought $15,000 ...
$950 USD Offers ConsideredBESSIE MONA LASKY (1888-1972) noted California and Rockport impressionist artist oil painting central California coastal landscape
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas landscape of the California coast with classic twisted Monterey Cypress tree, possibly the famous tree on 17 Mile Drive on the Monterey Peninsula near Carmel, measuring 24" by 20" and 1 5/8" wide vintage white painted wood frame, signed at lower right "Bessie Lasky" and dated there "41". This is a beautiful California plein air work by noted artist BESSIE MONA LASKY (1888-1972), a lesser known but listed painter of the California school. She was Boston born and spent some years in ...| Items 1 - 19 of 19 | Page 1 of 1 |
