Are You on Facebook?

If you are on Facebook and would like to view the gallery in a different format: become my friend, then "like" the gallery and then by following Mark Zuckerberg's
regulations I shall invite you to visit S.Morantz Galleries. Really, it's an accommodating way to view the gallery's art work, comments, and personal photos as well.

S.Morantz Galleries.Facebook.com should get you there. Today someone reached S.Morantz Galleries by just entering "Morantz". Give it a try.

Water Garden I

Oil Painting
Size: 8"x10" unfr.
18"x20" fr.

There is something about a water garden or lily pond that I am so attracted to that
I've always wanted as many as possible to be represented in the gallery collection. As soon as I can decipher the signature on this piece, I will post it here.

Still have not been able to decipher the signature, this doesn't distract from it's beauty.

1/17/14 - Still haven't been able to decipher the signature.

Santorini by Kulfiy - Transfer on Canvas with Brush Strokes

Transfers on canvas are just another medium the gallery offers. You may supply your own print or select from my very vast collection of some of the best loved images by European and American painters. Catalogs are available also to choose from. Employing the world's premier studio for creating your canvas replicas guarantees that their process will capture the authentic texture and surface of the original work. It truly achieves the presence of original oil paintings.

Santorini measures 27"x28" unframed
The frame with linen liner measures 3" wide.

Please contact the gallery for the framed price.

Patio Garden by S Morris

Oil Painting
Size: 20"x24" unfr

This is a sweet painting for just about any room in the house. I just learned that the artist is Morris who has painted many of the wonderful landscapes that I have sold and am still selling, (2-24"x36" oils left in the collection). I never connected them as being by the same artist. But after a closer look, I can see the similarity of brush strokes.
I just thought it a coincidence that the names were alike. The price has just gone up!

I do accept offers, and if yours is in the ballpark, your offer will accepted.

GOLDEN WOMAN by M.Morse

Oil Painting
Size: 27"x21.50" unfr.
31.50"x26" fr.

Ms. Morse worked for the gallery for about one year and then made the decision, with her husband, to try as they say, "greener fields". Where could it be greener? After all, New Jersey is the Garden State. But the color of money was greener to them in Las Vegas, and that's where they headed. I miss Mimi and wish her the best of luck. Besides, she likes the warmer weather.

Thank you browsers for a very interesting day. It was so nice to meet you and welcome you into my world of art for living. As you have found out by your visit today, my selection is vast and if I didn't have what you were looking for specifically, I would try my best to locate it for you. Thank you for stopping by and please don't hesitate to ask me questions by phone, emai, or on Facebook. A visit to my Facebook page is a must. It's my pleasure to be as accommodating as I can. The majority of my inquiries in the gallery are for estimates of framing needs. Giving estimates has become a daily routine. I love when potential clients come to me last for an estimate and then when I see a happy face in agreement with my quote, it is gratifying, to say the least.

Signature For Venice Bridge II

This is the signature on Venice Bridge II. If anyone can decipher it for me, great, if not, thank you for trying. You'd think artist's would want their signatures to be recognized.

Scroll down to see Venice Bridge II.

Venice Pedestrian Bridge

Original Oil Painting
Size: 36"x48"
Artist: Burnett
Price: $150 unframed


Not only does Burnett paint the familiar scenes of Paris but he divides his time capturing the popular attractions of Venice as well. If you've been to Paris and had the time, you most likely toured the artist colony of Montmartre. You had to come across the small gallery featuring the works of Burnett. I did. My business is to be observant when it has anything to do with a good painting for a great price. Consider his paintings as you would a souvenir of a place visited or of a place you'd like to visit.

Venice Bridge II

Original Oil Painting
Size: 36"x48"
Artist: Illegible
Price: $150

I photographed the signature and will have it posted in hopes of having it deciphered perhaps by one of you.

The canals in Venice are it's streets and the quickest way to travel is by foot, thanks to the bridges which link the small islands. If you are going a long distance, a water bus is used. This sounds like fun for the tourist but for the residents? Then again, why wouldn't it be delightful on a full time basis?

Matinee II by Yuri Tremler

Born: Ukraine in 1961
Size: 13"x19"
Medium: Giclee
Edition 169/250
Price: $250


You can visit Tremler on the web. This artist is working in New Jersey and his work is exciting. Check it out. I only have the piece posted here and as long as he is on the web and selling, it doesn't pay for me to purchase his work for my gallery. I just liked this so I bought it for myself and now it's for sale.

I respectfully consider offers, within reason.

Thank you.

Search "Sunflower Fields" and connect to my comment on the window display.

My 4th of July window display takes place 6/28/13

It is a very patriotic display and I'll keep some of the 4th's display in the window. The large red, white and blue ribbon will be retired and the flags as well. Between Memorial Day and flag day and the 4th my windows got a lot of attention. Right now what remains are red, silver and blue shining stars exploding up,out and cascading gracefully down. Nice when the sun shines on them, they catch the light and always seem to be in constant motion.

The rest of the summer window is being planned. This will be an easy one because it's sale time and most of my people are focusing on "The Shore" or "The Mountains" anyway.

July 12th I will probably remove the cascading stars from the windows and the red, white and blue flowers.

I'll be here all summer but will take long weekends sporadically. I have to notify my "google places" about this and do some editing. Maybe tomorrow. In the meantime support your local art street fairs and bring me the framing.

July 18th,19th &20th,2013 Cliffside Park will host a sidewalk sale. I'll be participating so please try to stroll the avenue and stop in to visit and browse and perhaps add a piece to your collection. Hope to see you.

2013: When I mention "The Mountains" I assume everyone knows by now I'm referring to The Catskills, in Sullivan County, N.Y. My hometown is Monticello, N.Y.
and be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. I recently saw Orsen Bean in a play at the Shadowland theater in Ellenville,N.Y. in the gunk's (short for Shawangunk Mountains) in Ulster Co. next to Sullivan Co.

Before the play, scheduled to start at 8pm, we arrived before 7pm to have dinner at the Mexican restaurant across the street from the theater. To make a long story short
the food didn't reach us until 7:45 so we had it bagged (well) and packed it into the pre-iced cooler my daughter thoughtfully transports all summer in her car because she breaks for farm stands. I enjoyed the play, and the food the next day.

Still 2013: I tend to get carried away from my purpose of posting a blog. I created this blog solely for trying to sell some of my gallery's collection through the miracle of the internet. (I still consider my computer a "miracle"). Besides answering emails and taking calls from whomever I have reached, in between I am greeting browsers, new and old, designing framing needs, etc., I like to log some of my moments that have nothing to do with art. It's like taking a "break".

O.K. So let's start selling! Keep on scrolling.
