Ristorante Conte



Oil Painting
Size: 24"x36" Unframed
Price: $300

This is a fine detailed painting of a small, quaint "ristorante" in an Italian town with meandering cobblestone walkways. Hikers or cyclists come across these little hideaways which are dotted all around the country and they are most likely family owned. It's charming and unique and time for a glass of wine from the Tuscan vineyards. Enjoy.

Gazebo on the Mediterranean



Oil Painting
Size: 20"x24" unframed
28"x32" framed
Price: $450 framed.

This was a common site around the 17th century: the gazebo set on a height to give an extensive view in all directions and used also as a garden house. The roofed structure is a free standing viewing pavilion. Gazebos were so grand and romantic then. Today, the "gazebo" is a small charming structure added to properties to enhance or just as a little getaway.

Wine Cellar




Oil Painting
Size: 43.5"x35" framed
24"x36" unframed
Signed but illegible
Price: $400 unframed (easier to ship)

A painting like this is a perfect selection for your wine cellar wall and in case you don't have a wine cellar I trust that if you like the painting you will be creative enough to find the perfect wall to suit you.

Remember, I am depleting inventory, not going out of business, I have an excessive amount of art work that needs a home. If you have browsed my blog you will understand why I must let go and I haven't finished posting. I will respectfully consider your offer within reason.

The Grand Party by Giancarlo Impiglia



Born: Rome-1940

Serigraph on arches paper.
Year: 1986
Image: 25"x33"
Paper: 29"x37"
Framed: 43.5"x35"
Edition: 225 - The paper slipped so I can't see the number of the piece until it's
refit, eventually.


Impiglia came to New York in the mid-seventies and has since become recognized as
one of the most influential artists of contemporary Art Deco style. "The Grand Party" was selected to be the cover of the book, "The Art of Giancarlo Impiglia" and as a result became most desirable to the collector. Just think how nice it would be to have "The Grand Party" hanging in your home and the book displayed on the coffee table.

You will google Impiglia for further information and of course for the price. Well, after googling galleries and art brokers contact me for your best price.

Oval Still Life - Pair



Oil Paintings
Size: 15.5"x17.5" fr.
Price: $175 each or $300 for the pair.


There are so many places you can find in a home to hang this pair.(I'm not sure that I like the way I placed them when they were photographed). In fact they are too similar to hang as a pair. I'll have to start over again or forget about selling them as a pair, then again, someone may be considering them just as they are.

Tuscan Countryside




Oil Painting
Size: 20"x24" unfr.
Price: $495 framed


Some of the world's most picturesque landscapes are in Tuscany. Here in this painting, rolling hills slope down into a medieval village of renovated farmhouses and villas full of art. Views as this one dot practically the entire Tuscan landscape.

I changed the frame to an antique gold baroque one. I didn't think this one did the painting justice, nor did anyone else.

Village Bridge by G. Walter



Oil Painting
Size: 20"x24" unfr.
36"x38" fr.
Price: $225 unframed


I like small bridges in small quaint villages because most likely you will find several artists who have taken up residence there. The villages are picturesque and provide the artist with ample subject matter in either direction of the flowing water. I'm just a romantic and I love selling the works of artists who are romantic as well.

Come to think of it I seem to find it easy to discover romance in about everything.

The composition that bears no resemblance to anything recognizable is a simple description of an abstract. The uses of color, form and line is instrumental in it's creation as seen here in C. Welch's art work.

18.5"x22.5" fr.

Doesn't this painting remind you of that perfect spot for a relaxing fishing or boating holiday you've been wanting to take in the south of France? I like when a painting conjures up a feeling or a memory. I'd settle for a holiday in any direction right now.

Manhattan Skyline by Elyse



I mentioned "Manhattan Skyline" on my post, "Pink Roses by Elyse". At the time I didn't realize that I had a flyer of Manhattan Skyline in my collection or I would have posted it along with Elyse's other works.

Elyse was commissioned to paint in water color a photo taken by New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani of the lower Manhattan skyline and it hangs in New York's City Hall. It has been published as a giclee on water color paper: image size 20"x28", edition size 250 and 25 AP's. I have not done any research on availability of the piece yet but as soon as there is a request for more information I'll be at your service.

Pictured is the water color of the original, not the actual photo taken by the Mayor.
It is hard to tell them apart.
