For the collector of art featuring the cat, here is a fine good-sized drawing of two cats, apparently unsigned, but, I think, there's a high likelihood that the artist would be someone listed. The drawing diameter is 18 1/2", the work diameter as framed is 29 3/4". If you look closely you can see that the artist assembled a number of sheets of paper on which to work---you can see the lines where they meet. Due to reflections this one proved very hard to photograph, accounting for the steep an...

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 does not appear to be signed on the front but i...
