(B) This charming lass I happened upon in the good ol' U.S. of A., but... could she be French? She's certainly in the style of Domergue, won't you permit me that fantasy (among others)? Lovingly reframed, ever so carefully (in spite of her apparent energy, she's quite fragile, being of pastel on paper). Along with the small frame, she measures about 26 by 19. (e-mail

(F) Besides apple pie, what's more American than the art of Thomas Hart Benton? No, Dear Reader, this isn't the original, it's a mere (but "period") print of... Louisiana Rice Fields -- and in its original frame, too! Overall measurements: 28 by 21 1/2; the art itself, 18 1/2 by 11. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 (G) A vibrant, colorful cubist-inspired oil painting on canvas entitled "Workman's Shack" (written in pencil on verso) by Opal Danz (signed lower left), measuring about 26 1/2 high, 20 wide (original limed oak frame included in the measurement, which is about 2 1/4 wide). (e-mail Jack for a price)

(I) Here's another zinger by one of my favorite American artists, Thomas Hart Benton. This period print is entitled "Spring Training." Ha-ha, how clever... Measurements: 30 1/2 by 27 1/2 including the frame; image, 21 by 17. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(J) For our desert fans! Really, how much better does it get? Stephen Willard's (signed and dated 1922) photographic, hand-colored print, "The White Noon," measures 22 by 18 inches, including its original frame. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(K) R. H. Palenske's etching "Gulls at Monterey," a classic piece of period California art, measures 12 1/2 by 16 1/4; the artwork measures 7 by 8 1/2. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(L) This exquisitely rendered representation of the natural beauty that so many love about California is by Marion Kavanagh Wachtel, from 1917 no less. Hmmm... that would make it just over 100 years old -- yippee, a real antique! It's entitled "The Oaks 'The Santa Paula valley with the last touch of sun in the mountains.'" Is that old-timey enough for you? And cute?!! It measures 16 1/2 by 11 1/2 and, as you can see, is in its original frame. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(M) This particular photograveur of that famous moment when Moses was extracted from the bullrushes is copyrighted 1905, reproduced with the permission of the then-owner Sir John Aird. It's the work of the world-famous painter Alma Tadema. In its original dark wood (walnut?) frame, the art itself measures about 20 by 30 inches. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(O) Roubille's transitional drum-wielding clown lends a mischievous air in this small but powerfully decorative lithograph. It measures 11 3/8 by 15 3/4, including the frame; the art measures 4 1/2 by 9 3/4. (e-mail Jack for a price) |
