Hazel Ware mid century painting Temple of Juno fantasy

 

This fabulous surrealist dreamscape that seems to depict (as best I can tell) a version of The Temple of Juno at Agrigento, Sicily. The scene is populated by various little figures recreationally, enjoying themselves on an mountain topped with ruins.
The oil painting is signed by Hazel Ware, an artist and designer, who gained fame designing handkerchiefs with whimsical puppies and kittens on them in the 1950s. She can for instance, be seen in the book Handkerchiefs:volume two, a collectors guide, identification and values. By Barbara Guggenheim in Helene Guarnaccia.
I don’t know if this painting was painted while she was studying or after she became a fabulous handkerchief designer, but its modernist feel is most likely from the postwar era. It is painted on some type of board, not canvas.
CONDITION —
The painting really needs to be cleaned!
Most likely from cigarette smoke, the yellowing is most noticeable in the clouds. The linen edging that surrounds the painting, has yellowed and needs to be replaced. The outside frame could stand to be touched up.
Perfect work for an intermediate restorer, as the paint is not lifting or cracking just very dirty.
The painting is priced with condition in mind.

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.

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.

Original Mixed Media Donald Gotz Art STAND OF BIRCH Whimsical OOAK

 

Playful piece of art by Donald Gotz, a listed local artist known for his  mixed media, marine and naturalist art.   This New England fall landscape features a small stand of birch trees  in an autumn field. It's wonderful. Not framed. From the artist's estate. 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. Please examine all the photos to make sure this is to your liking. Sold as seen. Thanks for stopping by
