The Potato Pickers by C. Salvador

Oil Painting
Size: 31.5"x23.5" Unfr.
37"x29" Fr.
Price: $375-framed


Like in Van Gogh's painting of the "Potato Pickers" and Jean Francois MIllet's
"Gleaners", Salvador is also seen as being influenced by poverty which makes him concentrate on peasant subject matter; earthiness, hard work and spirit of survival.

Salvador is from Peru. A friend was traveling there and upon my request brought several works of art back for the gallery's collection. There are no papers bearing history of the artist.

Woman In Hammock Reading by Jackie

Oil Painting
Size: 23"x32" Unfr.
31.5"x40.5" Fr.


A woman in a hammock was a very inspiring subject during the 1880's but the difference between this one and the others painted is that this woman is concentrating on her book. There isn't anything reckless about her as she is just spending a quiet afternoon in her garden. There aren't any connotations of gentlemen as was so prevalent in paintings at the end of the 19th Century.

Signature for Young Girl in Pink Under a Tree

Let me know if you can decipher this.

Young Girl in Pink Under a Tree

Oil Painting
Size: 24"x36" Unfr.

I can't read the signature so I'm posting a photo of it in hopes that someone else can. This never prevented me from purchasing a painting and especially if it was at a price I wanted to pay. The painting will reflect the mood of Spring all year round.

Keep in mind that all sales are final and that I am depleting inventory.

Parisian Flower Market by Pencke

Oil Painting
Size: 24"x36" Unfr.

Flower markets in Paris were very popular and held in open areas attended by the female members of the growers. The oldest market was established in 1808 and the stands were open twice a week. For a location, 25 cents a day was paid to the town of Paris.

(Just thought I'd add a little historical background).

Rarely does Pencke change his pallet, but in order to convey a delicate,
atmospheric setting for the flower stands, he wisely chose to mix a pallet of pastel colored paints for The Parisian Flower Market.


Sale Price: $375 Unfr.

Parisian Street Corner With Horse andCarriage and Car by Pencke

Oil Painting
Size: 24"x36"

What caught my attention to this piece was that I don't think I ever saw an old world Paris painting by Pencke where he included a car. Searching around I came to the conclusion that the car could be the first car powered by gas circa 1894 in France. So we can date the picture, not when it was painted, of course. It was Karl Benze that invented this car called the Benz Velo and each car was different from the other. Standard car models were not made yet.

I get caught up with little details and like to address them when possible. It makes it much more interesting for me and for the client, (I hope), to learn a little more than what we see.

My sale price is $375 but don't use this price as the estimated present value. I am depleting my inventory.

Paris Street Scene With Three White Horses and Carriage by Pencke

Oil Painting
Size: 24"x36" Unfr.

A well sort after subject matter, the Paris street scene. The work by Pencke demands a slightly higher price than some of the other artists painting the same subject. I'm aware that prices vary from gallery to gallery because quality varies as well. Pencke has been consistent in all of his output of work and as far as I'm concerned the quality of each is the same.

My asking price is $375.

Irisis - Cast Paper

Size: 18.5"x30.5"
Edition: 76/500

"A cast from the past". (I couldn't resist that). I had to hold onto at least one piece from the group show "The Art of Cast Paper Sculpture" so the Irisis were not for sale until now.

Cast paper is sculpture in the bas-relief tradition similar to bronze casting. It transforms the old fashioned method of hand made paper into the dramatic effect of bas-relief. By casting from a three dimensional form, flat paper is transformed into sculpture.


The show was a great success which featured works by Richard Casey, Bruno Lucchesi,
Dr. Ron Katz, Paul Jenkins and Knox Martin. Sculpture in the round was featured as well by New Jersey sculptors Michael Shachman, Willi Tobias, Linda Handler, Livia Angelone, and Arthur Glickman. Their work included marble, bronze and a combination of bronze and plexi-glass.

Sale Price: $300 unfr. It would need a shadow box frame, my plexi box framer has retired.

Ruins With Village View by Underwood

Oil Painting
Size: 20"x24" unfr.

I've always been fascinated with paintings depicting monuments of antiquity, namely
ruins. I can't compare it to Capriccio's "View With Ruins" for obvious reasons but I was pleased with my feelings towards the painting. After all I am a romanticist
and I was justified that the purchase made sense. And the price was right.

There are several artists that paint under the name of Underwood but none of them
were the Underwood I was looking for. There are no papers bearing the history of the
artist but that didn't stop me from owning the painting.

As I am depleting my inventory I am selling this piece for $500. I will respectfully consider your offer.

Pink Roses by Elyse

Off Set Lithograph
Size: 25"x38"

The flower of sweet thoughts and gentle emotions and in giving, a lovely and heartfelt way to say "thank you" and used in this way it expresses joy and delight.

Elyse's images are on fabrics and on a variety of products. Her artworks are in movies and in television room settings. She had the honor of being commissioned by
NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to paint in watercolor a picture he had taken of the Manhattan skyline the title of the piece as well. It was presented to him in his NY City Hall office.

To frame conservatively use metal, #11 profile in the anodized finish. My framing cost for a 25"x38" (full image) is $75 which includes frame, mount, glass and fit.
To frame in a grand manor? The sky could be the limit. I'll be happy to work within your budget.

Peony Rose by Elyse

Off Set Lithograph
Size: 35.75"x25.50"

I've loved this piece ever since I saw the original water color at a N.Y. Art Expo show. I'm so happy that Elyse decided to share it's beauty by publishing an unlimited edition. This has made it possible for many to include some or all of Elyse's florals in a decorative theme at home or office.

By special commission Elyse can reproduce your favorite floral in oils or watercolor.

A Patron of the Arts - At The Patrice Breteau Show

I could always depend on family to help fill the gallery at an opening. Here is Ali not only a Patron of the Arts but an artist as well now. Her creative accomplishments are an exemplification of her true artistic nature as seen in the labyrinth she created, her paintings and successful adventure with the guitar, composition, and modeling in clay and photography as well. And I'm sure I left a few things out.
