Commissioned oil portrait painting on stretched canvas of a little girl in pigtails and as the patron described, '...you captured her eyes as lipid pools...'. This child is a Scorpio and can fix anyone with one firm look! Although she does not tolerate fools, she is both kind and sweet. Although of European descent her "cat eyes", as she calls them, appear when she smiles.

The work is a fine example by this talented woman artist, the cramped artistic space and carefully thought-out arrangement of the objects in that space indicative of an artist of great talent who is taking from Cezanne as well as the WPA (I would guess the age as circa 1930's or 1940's). ...

CHRISTO (1935-2020) in close collaboration with his late wife JEANNE-CLAUDE (1935-2009) is considered one of the most important "installation" artists of modern times.

Around the early 1970's he came to world attention with a fresh approach to art---creating new ways of seeing the familiar landscape. His projects, then (and still) controversial and thought to be outrageous, were ambitious and unprecedented. Pr...

Watercolor on paper painting of a classic stone castle with figures outside its portals, 14" by 10 1/2" (26 1/2" by 23" as framed), apparently unsigned. This is a circa 1850 work which has survived in presentable condition. There is foxing in the sky principally, as shown, but no large stains. To be sure, there were a lot of anonymous skilled watercolor artists in the British Isles in the 19th century, though this might well have been created by an artist that would be "listed" today.

Watercolor painting of famous Union Square in downtown San Francisco, the St. Francis Hotel at right, so the view looking southwest. The work measures 14 1/2" by 21 1/2" (21" by 28" as framed).

His scroll paintings and other works in the traditional style seem to bring large amounts of money at auction in China. Apparently later in life he moved to San Francisco, and watercolors of that city's ...

This is a fine pastel of a pair of dogs---Labradors possibly---(I welcome input from dog lovers)--one named at bottom "Lozi", the other, "Pamuzi", the drawing signed at lower left with what appears as "Janaa Olsen" or "Janaa Owen" or similar, and dated there 1988. It appears to be a portrait commissioned by an owner who was obviously very attached to these particular canines, who appear at this time to have been in the prime of their lives. On the reverse is a label from The Coln Gallery in En...
