The watercolor is clean, with some browning at the very edges from long contact with the mat.

His techniques include oil on linen, prepared by him in his studio with rabbit glue, linseed oil, and tempera; engravings on copper or zinc using burin, dry point, etching, or soft ground;...

The work, 9 1/2" by 11 1/2" in robin's egg blue painted wood frame, is typical of the artist's output----always colorful in the extreme, and whimsical, the subjects landscape, florals, or fantasy...

Watercolor on heavy pebbled watercolor, 10 1/4" by 13 3/4" (17 1/2" by 20 1/2" in simple, worn frame), unsigned, the subject an impressive sailing craft in a small boat harbor. The painting has a nice impressionist touch, and, apparently, some age (at least 1960's or before). On the reverse someone did some math calculations, writing the numbers in a distinctive old hand that is of a previous generation. The clean mat with gold inner edging can be retained; a new frame would work wonders.
