Dogwood Branch by Lowell Nesbitt



Serigraph 1980 SOLD
Size: 51"x37" Framed
Pencil Signed
Edition: 18/200
Estimated Price: $1100
My Price: $800


The long awaited photographing of the Dogwood Branch. This piece was stacked behind several oversized works with wide wooden frames and I couldn't without the help of my daughter lift it out to be photographed. I still have an oversized Nesbitt in a tube to photograph and I still don't have the surface large enough needed to do the job. The Nesbitt saga continues.

Floating Abstract




Oil Painting
Size: 40"x48"

I had to post this painting because it hasn't been given attention for a very long time. It is one of several that were on consignment to the gallery. I've lost touch
with the consignor and I'm hoping for a reunion. The artist is Peter Ficher.

Mauve ,Grey and Black Abstract



Acrylic Painting
Size: 36"x48"
Estimated price: $550
My price: $375


There is no need for a frame if you use a double stretcher bar, wrap the canvas
and staple it around the back. That's what I did. This works great on abstracts.
My seasoned clients know this but for the benefit of my inexperienced buyers who I am having the pleasure of working with more and more every day, this is for you.

Pencil Signed
Numbered 1/1
Price: $400

Born in Votuporanga, Sao Paulo, Brazil - 1955

Mayr's colors are bold and vibrant as can be seen by the monoprint posted here.
Her abstracts are all inspired by aerial photography of rural landforms.

I tried researching the artist more thoroughly for my own edification but I think getting into Fort Knox would be easier.

Patrice Breteau at Work



The extremes Patrice Breteau goes through to create his work is astronomical because his art is astronomical and made possible through the use of a hydraulic lift. There isn't a size too large for him to tackle as seen here in the photo.

You can search my blog for some of his serigraphs: Patrice Breteau I, Patrice Breteau II, up to V. I've posted two posters one of which is signed.

Balloon Festival 1988 by German Huerta



Oil Painting
Size: 50"x50"

The artist really didn't want to part with this painting but he had no choice because it wouldn't fit into his car as he was "moving on" from Fairview , N.J. I always felt gifted by owning the artwork but "moving on" is the new theme song around here.

Did you ever watch hot air balloons from the windows of your home or go out to the
patio and wave back to the brave souls riding them? I have, from the Atlas residence in Goshen, N.Y. The art work conjures up nice memories.

This is a detail of the Group Show which featured the art of Patrice Breteau. (The Tulips are by Steven Kenny). It was a fabulous show! You can search around the blog for some of the graphic work of the artist: Patrice Breteau 1,11,111,1V,&V. I don't have any oils, the ones I had were sold at the show. They've now out priced themselves from the gallery.

You can visit Patrice on the web. Let me know if you do, his work is amazing.

Don Quixote by Salvatore Dali



Original Etching
Size: 22"x15"
Image: 18.50"X13"
Pencil Signed E.A.

This is a first for me, suggesting to the world the way I'd most likely have the Dali framed. The selections for framing the Dali are numerous. To me, the most creative
part of my work is designing the framing. Forgive my immodesty, I'm good. I take your hand and step by step walk you through the process of decision making.

Original serigraph enriched with hand color by the artist
Size: 29"x30"

Breteau was a major exhibitor in a group show held at the S.Morantz Galleries in 1982. It was a successful show. I appreciate, still now, the working relationship I had with Breteau as he loved dinner parties where he did the cooking. It was nice mixing business with pleasure.

Breteau has a web site, visit him and enjoy the view. I welcome your comments.

Strolling a Street in Paris by Renet



Oil Painting SOLD
12"x16" unframed

I haven't met a client who didn't like a Paris street scene. The piece pictured here is like a little jewel radiating its own light. There isn't any information on the artist and I can only assume that he desires visibility by offering his works
at an extremely low price making it possible for everyone to own one. Dali is famous for having done the same thing.

I am offering this work for $105. Merci (Fr).
