Venice by Richardo


Oil Painting
Size" 20"x24" unframed
36"x32" framed


The gondola is the romantic icon of the canals of Venice.You glide slowly on a moonlit night to musical accompaniment. The pedestrian bridge links Venice's small islands and the artist must have been under a spell to have produced a volume of these romantic scenes. A biography is not available but we know he's romantic.

Contact the gallery before I leave on the next flight there.

Venice Canal by Richardo



Oil Painting
Size: 20"x24" unframed
29"x33" framed


Another jewel to be added to your collection of the far away places you visited but didn't indulge in the purchase of a painting. This piece will conjure up the image
of the romantic visit to Venice you experienced. I would be safe in saying that art depicting Venice has been one of the best selling subjects in the gallery.

The artist chose the use of the pallet knife and captures the brilliance of the colors and his subject in a true impressionist style.

Old World Village by Richardo



Oil Painting
12"x16" Unframed
17.50"x21.50" Framed

No papers bearing the history of the artist. Just another little jewel and a great find by the gallery because as I looked through my collection only two 12"x16" pieces remain and four 20"x24" pieces. The larger pieces, 24"x36" and 30"x40", have been sold. No better barometer than a depleted inventory that I made a good choice in my purchase.

I have another piece to compliment this one, same artist, frame and size.

Path to the Sea by Fredrick


Oil Painting
12"x16" unframed
20"x24" framed


I cannot provide you with a biography, none were available at the time of purchase.
This has never stopped me from the "art of buying" when I can envision the artwork framed and knowing that I can price it friendly.

A good example of light playing an important part of the artist's pallet.

I consider this work "art for living". Hang it next to your Monet and be proud.

Paris by Gaston



SOLD

Oil Painting
12"x16" unframed
20"x24" framed

I have represented this artist for over 25 years. She lives in Paris and has enjoyed
a very successful career painting old world Paris street scenes. She has been quite content painting for the pleasure of her collectors and never seeking further acclaim nor notoriety. I have always counted on Gaston's art work when I proposed the charm of Paris for a selective client.

The frame works so well.

Untitled by Patrick Nagel - aka Montana


Original Silk Screen
24"x36"

This is a Commemorative Silk-screen #13 out of a series of 15 commemoratives that were produced over a four year period which were published after his death in 1984.
This piece was never framed or matted. It was purchased by me in the eighties along with others, CN#10, CN#12,CN#15 and there are several of each. I was on a subscription plan so I kept a percentage of the pieces in the gallery's archives until now. I've decided to part with them. They need a home.

I didn't purchase them for investment but for their beauty and high quality printing.

Everyone by now knows that I accept a fair offer and that I am not interested in purchasing the one you have. Thanks anyway.

Winter Landscape by Margaret Huddy



Watercolor
22.75"x30"
Pencil Signed


I always considered this water color as very special but I never took the time to research the artist until recently. I am totally in awe of the amount of work she has produced as an award winning water color landscape artist! She is well known in the Washington, D.C. area and famous there for the images rendered of landmark buildings and landscapes. This is an artist whose web site you must visit.

I don't remember how it became a part of my personal collection but my love for winter landscapes plus a quote from a Frost poem had to be the reason for the acquisition. But from which source? A total mystery and no clue to it's price.
Maybe some one out there could quote a price for me for a change.

Thanks.

I now have a price. smorantzgallery@gmail.com or call 201-943-8900

Senor And Senorita by Xavier Cugat



Silk Screen
Signed in Ink on Back
8"x10" unframed
17"x19" framed


The visible signature, X Cugat, has been silkscreened onto the canvas but it is hand signed by the artist, in ink, on the back.When I framed this piece, in order to protect the signature on the back, I used glass.

Other Cugat's are posted here on my blog and some haven't been posted yet.

I will respectfully consider your offer after you google Cugat and view the images and prices.

The frame to me is perfect! I will change it if you don't agree.

Still Life - by T.Moran


Oil Painting
Size: 8"x10" unframed
15"x17" framed



If you are grouping several pieces in your dining area instead of using only one piece this still life is an excellent addition because of it's shape. A grouping must consist of more than two pieces, of course. Then if you are using only two, the frames should match, (in my opinion). I have several frames in this style in my inventory, and oils, so I can always produce a matching pair.

Consider groupings. You can utilize all the small pieces you purchased on the streets of Paris, Italy and the rest of the world.

Thanks for browsing my blog.

Still Life - Pair



Oil Paintings
8"x10" unframed
15"x17" framed


If two pieces are hung in this fashion I don't see why you can't use different frames but hung side by side I'll stick to what I said in the above post.

Treat yourself to this elegant pair at $250.
