"China Town Revisited" $500 SOLD

This has been a good week at the gallery. This is the second painting of mine that went out the door. We also sold one of Deb's and a couple of paintings by Edward J. Elhoff.

"China Town Revisited" is an encaustic painting I did back in the early 1990's and was part of a large body of work I did at that time. These paintings are strong in color and very expressionistic. I have sold most of the paintings from that series. Only a handful remain in addition to a couple that we have kept and are not for sale.

The gentleman who purchased this painting has his eye on a couple of others and is also considering commissioning a large canvas.

Fantasies and Fairy-Tales: Maxfield Parrish and the Art of the Print
April 29 - July 11, 2010

During the height of Maxfield Parrish's popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, he was the most reproduced American artist of his era. Disseminated through magazine covers, book illustrations, calendar pads, advertisements and color reproductions, Parrish's images occupied a ubiquitous presence in popular visual culture. While recent exhibitions of Parrish have focused mainly on his original oil paintings, Fantasies and Fairy-Tales represents the first comprehensive sampling of Parrish's work in a variety of printed media. His whimsical designs based on fairy-tales and nursery rhymes were a favorite of early twentieth century advertisers.
