1920s Art Deco Equestrian Christmas card signed JB

 

Done an incredibly fine detail, and in either watercolor or gouache. This 4.75 x 3 1/2“ illustration depicts a male and female rider approaching the innkeeper at a Merry Xmas Inn.
A note attached to the back reads, “A Merry Xmas“ original pencil and watercolor signed J.B. A note on the verso says “by postal artist JB“ it says circa 1930s probably original art for a published Christmas card. “
The uncredited note aside, I believe the illustration was done in the 20s as it looks very much like the Art Deco covers on Vanity Fair magazine at the time.
The frame job is absolutely beautiful with some wear, the image has some faint foxing. A terrific stylized piece of art that would be perfect to reproduce for your Christmas card.

Artist statement

"As an artist I look at what others consider mundane or uninviting - from the bow of a boat to the branch of a tree, from a few discarded 

objects to the play of shadows on rocks, to the reflections of a boat's hull against the ever moving water - and see an opportunity for a painting.

Nature and man's interactions with nature are the main theme of my work.

Be it the remains of old weathered wooden piers, driftwood, old man-made objects that have found their way into the 

environment, or just natural objects - trees, rocks, water. The work itself may represent man's intrusion into nature or natures 

own forces at work. The search for subject matter is never far away. It is as near as a lake, the seashore, the local walking trail, or 

the back yard. Each season brings new opportunities for new paintings.

My media of choice is acrylic, because it allows me to choose to work as in oil paint or a looser watercolor style or 

something in-between, all in one media." Donald Gotz.

Donald Gotz is an artist from Framingham, MA.

BFA in painting and illustration at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Also studied at The Museum School of Art (Boston) and School of Practical Art.

Early Spring Mist Watercolor Listed Rockport Artist Domenic Demeri 1942 - 1994

Gorgeous watercolor painting by celebrated Rockport artist Dominic Demeri.

The landscape is evocative of mist created on the first warm day of spring as the warmth starts to melt the snow.

There is a fortress of solitude feel to this as well.

Just a lovely, serene image.

It measures approximately 20" x 24"

It has been beautifully framed but at some point the glass sustained some scrapes when being moved. 

The frame has some wear as well. These scratches are only seen at certain angles and the painting is ready to hang as is. It's such a nice painting it deserves a new frame or at least new glass and I have priced it accordingly. 

Please examine all the photos to make sure this is to your liking.

Sold as shown.

Cottagecore, coastal decor for sure.

From Rockport, Massachusetts, a renown seaside artist colony.

I purchased this lovely work at auction and although the framing job is very good, it appears that there might have been a tiny bit of… Something on the mat knife when it cut the center opening.

Notre Dame Paris Street Scene Watercolor by Ch. Maurice Noted Painter of Cathedrals 1950's

Just an absolutely beautiful mid century image of Notre Dame cathedral and the artists that sold their work in its view. Painted in the 1950's as you can tell from the clothing on the individuals, it depicts a post war Paris street scene.
I believe the painting is a watercolor with conte crayon. In the corner it is signed Ch Maurice in a very distinctive signature. Poor Charles Maurice can be found on the web being called Maurice Charles and given an assortment of birthdates relating to many other historic Charles Maurices. Which is a shame, because his work is very good. This beautifully framed painting measures 28“ x 24 in inches. The inside opening image measures 21 1/2“ x 18“. Purchased from a local estate it is in very very good condition but probably could stand to be re-matted.
