Fleisch didn't do a lot of portraits, I've only seen s few others. One of which<br>brought $6100 on eBay in 2013. This piece is estate fresh, has never been<br>offered anywhere until now since it was purchased from the artist.<br><br>Frame measures 31"x 19", it's the original frame Made in Italy with 78061<br>sticker on it coinciding with the number on the back of the painting. Canvas is<br>24" x 12". Both the painting and the frame are flawless. This is one of his<br>earlier works c.1970's, also one of his better works in my opinion. He's well<br>listed and has brought some very high prices at auction even before he passed<br>away in 2008.<br><br>Ken Fleisch<br><br>(American, 1943-2008)<br><br><br><br>Ken Fleischs' paintings are stark, compelling and deceptively simple in their<br>appearance. Flawless in its detail and realism, Fleischs work reaches the core<br>of life in an almost classical fashion.<br><br><br><br>            Born in Texas on November 4, 1943, Fleischspent his early years<br>experiencing a wide perspective of life throughout the United<br>States and Europe as the son of an Air Force officer. Fleischs art education is<br>a combination of formal training in both American and European universities with<br>exacting practical experience gained through private study and joint projects<br>with internationally known artists.<br><br><br><br>            A self-described realist, he often draws inspiration from his native<br>state of Texas, yet his paintings transcend geographical boundaries, touching<br>the core of life in an almost classical fashion. His evocative paintings are<br>more than mere reflections of reality: they are a means by which he shares<br>philosophy and emotion. Using the commonplace to convey the complex, he often<br>uses old pottery, artifacts, and icons for his stark and still lifes, which many<br>find compelling. <br><br>            Fleisch began painting landscapes then moved on to architecture and<br>buildings and eventually was drawn inside to long forgotten objects sitting on<br>shelves. Fleisch now paints still lifes exclusively. He is interested in the<br>convergence of cultures and the stories behind the objects he paints.<br><br><br>Ken Fleisch's award winning work has been featured extensively in regional and<br>national publications and his paintings are in major private and public<br>collections across the country. The wide recognition of Ken Fleischs' art on a<br>national level, the popularity of his print series and the wide diversity of his<br>collectors, from Bob Dylan to CBS Television, can only underscore the depth and<br>integrity of his work.

Antique French Oil on Board Town Square with Pharmacy Pharmacien. Great early<br>painting from the 18th-19th century guaranteed. It's in a c1870 frame that I<br>don't believe is original. It's painted on a wood panel with hand champhered<br>edges. Slight bend in panel, with some very slight splits, towards the top of<br>the painting there is some old varnish spots in the cloud area that could easily<br>be cleaned by someone that knew what they were doing. I don't see them as much<br>of a distraction myself. Great painting, couldn't find a signature.18.5" x 14.5"<br>frame 12 5/8" x 9 3/8" panel.This at one point belonged to Colonel William Lamb<br>(7 September 1835 – 23 March 1909), an American newspaper editor, politician,<br>businessman.  He has an interesting bio in which I had to remove because it was<br>getting flagged by search engines.It was passed on via inheritance to the family<br>I'm representing.

c1850 Portrait of a Young woman Oil on Canvas in incredible frame. This piece is incredibly vivid more than shown. It was professionally restored in 2004. They are very descriptive about what they did, it doesn't sound like it had any holes or anything significant but it sounds like they did it right and I bet it cost a few grand to do this job as this type of work doesn't come cheap. I'm including the folder I got with the painting. The painting measures 13 3/8" x 15.25" framed with a 10" x 8" canvas.tw194

Dewey Bradford (1896-1985) Austin Texas Landscape c1920's Oil on Canvas Board.<br>9" x 12" painting in a 14.5" x 17.5" original frame. This painting is about<br>85-100 years old with no significant issues to painting or frame.<br><br>Dewey Bradford was the founder of The Country Store Gallery, Austin, Texas. In<br>1939, Porfirio Salinas began working with Dewey Bradford (1896-1985), one of the<br>great characters of Texas art. Bradford was a second-generation dealer whose<br>family operated the Bradford Paint Company in Austin, where they sold art<br>supplies, framed artwork, restored paintings and hung artists work. Salinas was<br>struggling when he met Bradford, but the older man took the young artist under<br>his wing and began to sell his work reliably, even though the prices that people<br>would pay for a painting were still low due to the lingering effects of the<br>Great Depression.<br><br>Bradford was a born salesman with a gift for storytelling, and truth be told, a<br>bit of embroidery. The relationship between Bradford and Salinas was often<br>rocky, but it was to last the rest of the artists life and give him a modest<br>sense of loyalty and security, things which are all too rare in the art world.<br>While Bradford could be critical of his work, Salinas knew that he had a dealer<br>who encouraged him, believed in him and was not shy about singing his praises to<br>anyone who entered Bradford's store on Guadalupe Street.

Betty Allison Texas Cowboy Oil on Canvas. Betty Allison was a San Antonio artist<br>who's originals rarely come up on the open market. At the time of this listing<br>there are three for sale online between $9,000 and $12,000 and none for less.<br>She mainly sold limited edition prints in the 1970's and 1980's in editions of<br>1000. I've seen plenty of her prints sell in the $250 range. This is an original<br>oil on canvas with no significant issues, it measures 26" x 22" framed x 14" x<br>18" canvas. Great painting, as realistic as they come for a realistic price.

This piece came from the estate of one of the Head Executives of I think most of<br>Asian Motorola which is headquartered out of Chicago where Grace Lai was from.<br>She was most likely flown to Asia, I believe this is the Beijing Building, for<br>this comission. It measures 23"x 30". It was rolled up at one point so I will<br>likely roll it up for shipping but not too tightly unless the buyer has a major<br>objection to that. NO issues with painting.<br><br>Grace Lai painted downtown Chicago in concrete and steel bloom, for two decades<br>producing vibrant montages of skyline-shaping buildings as they climbed.<br><br>An "on-site" artist who didn't seriously take up painting until nearly 60, Mrs.<br>Lai donned a hard hat and was unafraid to board construction elevators for rides<br>high into the sky to complete her work. In winter she'd wrap herself in plastic<br>garbage bags and substitute rubbing alcohol for water in her paints, so they<br>wouldn't freeze.<br><br>"She just really captured the essence of the dynamic nature of construction,"<br>said Tom Broderick, executive director of the Construction Safety Council in<br>Hillside, which has about 100 of Mrs. Lai's paintings on display. "The craft<br>workers will feel the loss of Grace. She really cared about the industry and the<br>people who worked in it."<br><br>Until her husband, Harry, died in 1985, Mrs. Lai was essentially an artist's<br>assistant.

Dave Sellers Canada Geese at Elkhorn 1991 Painting San Jose California Artist Waterfowl 39.75" x 23.5" framed x 13.5" x 29.5" sight. Incredible guaranteed original painting.Biography of the ArtistDave began his career as a means to fund his college education.   His initial focus was wildlife.  After attending Humboldt State University in Northern California, he began his career in earnest.  Success came early with requests from California Ducks Unlimited and The California Waterfowl Association to be their artist of the year.   Dave was also among the youngest artists to be asked to exhibit his work at the internationally recognized “Birds in Art” exhibit at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum.   For the first decade of his career, Dave held his focus on wildlife paintings,  however, by the mid 1990’s, he turned to landscape painting.   Most of his early work in landscape was done outdoors but, over time, he shifted to more refined studio work with his outdoor work done primarily in pencil.  This eventually led to his original concept of “Notebook” paintings.   He was first inspired to pursue this location focused artistic expression by an exhibit at the Denver Museum of Art displaying the famous notes and sketches by the cowboy artist Charles M. Russell.   With Dave’s active life in backpacking and extensive outdoor exploration, carrying small. light weight notebook sized prepared surfaces was the only practical way to express himself in art while on long back country trips.More recently, in 2015, Dave and his wife, Christiane, began working together.   Chris took up refined craftsman style wood working and all of Dave’s painting are now framed exclusively in these beautiful, finely crafted hardwood frames. Chris uses only American hardwoods sourced and milled in America.  Both Dave and Chris are committed to the highest quality work using American made materials – even Dave’s paints are American made.Dave has enjoyed a quiet, yet long and successful career by pursuing his individual artistic goals.   Most of his work is sold in galleries catering to clients who appreciate Dave’s approach to art and his powerful desire to express his interests with authenticity and honesty.  He is an expert fly caster and fly tyer and remains very active in backpacking and outdoor travel.   He lives with his wife and two dogs on the shores of a beautiful Sierra mountain lake in far Northern California.

Wanting to give a gift to Nixon, then-U.S. Sen. John Tower of Texas commissioned Austin artist Brenda Polsky Morgan Childs to paint a scene from the game, which he then sent to Nixon. The painting was flown to Washington first class, but she flew coach, Childs' friends recall. It was a perfect example of how Childs' talent at painting — which brought her famous clients like John Wayne, Bob Hope and Barbara Jordan — never overshadowed her humility.

Large 1920's Muller Frères Cameo Glass Landscape vase. 12" tall x 5.25" wide<br>with no cracks, chips, or restorations. tw108<br><br>Cameo glass is a luxury form of glass art produced by cameo glass engraving or<br>etching and carving through fused layers of differently colored glass to produce<br>designs, usually with white opaque glass figures and motifs on a dark-colored<br>background. The technique is first seen in ancient Roman art of about 30 BC,<br>where it was an alternative to the more luxurious engraved gem vessels in cameo<br>style that used naturally layered semi-precious gemstones such as onyx and<br>agate. Glass allowed consistent and predictable colored layers, even for round<br>objects.<br><br>From the mid-19th century there was a revival of cameo glass, suited equally to<br>Neo-Grec taste and the French Art Nouveau practiced by Émile Gallé. Cameo glass<br>is still produced today.<br><br>Muller Frères (Co.) was an esteemed French glassmaking company based in<br>Luneville, France, famous for its Art Nouveau vases, lampshades, and<br>chandeliers, which often incorporate layered and colored glass. Their workshop<br>was established by Henri Muller and his brothers in 1895 after they trained with<br>Émile Gallé—who would retain a grudge against Muller for setting up a rival<br>enterprise. In 1910, the company began making lamps in association with Chapelle<br>and, at its height, employed around 300 workers. Production was stopped in 1933<br>and the factory closed three years later, a victim of the Great Depression.

It was titled "75 Miles South of El<br>Paso", 1953 oil on canvas 16 x 20. So less than half of the size of this<br>painting, it had the same cacti and Red Yucca. In 2019 prickly pear Cacti<br>Landscape by Salinas brough $125,000 with the buyers premium at the same David<br>Dike Fine Art.<br><br>The paper on this frame possibly covers the title of this painting, I'm tempted<br>to remove it but I'm going to try my best not to as the old brittle paper does<br>help date the painting and I really like to leave things as I found them. No<br>damage or restorations whatsoever to the painting, thoroughly examined under<br>both natural and UV light.<br><br>Porfirio Salinas (November 6, 1910 – April 18, 1973) was an early Texas<br>landscape painter who is recognized for his depictions of the Texas Hill Country<br>in the springtime. He was one of the first Mexican American artists to become<br>nationally recognized for his paintings. He was described by The New York Times<br>as being United States President Lyndon B. Johnson's favorite painter. Works by<br>Salinas are displayed in the Texas State Capitol, the Texas Governor's Mansion<br>and in a number of museums including the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas and<br>the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.<br><br>Early history<br>Salinas was born on November 6, 1910, near Bastrop, Texas. He came from a family<br>of Mexican American tenant farmers, his father Porfirio G. Salinas and his<br>mother Clara G. Chavez Salinas leaving the farm for San Antonio when Porfirio<br>was a child. Salinas was a precocious talent who drew and painted from the time<br>he was a small boy and received encouragement from his teachers. He had little<br>formal education and left school when he was young in order to work in an art<br>supply store. When he was fifteen he met the English-born landscape artist<br>Robert William Wood (1889–1979) at the store.<br><br>Salinas went to work in Wood's studio in 1925, where he learned the basics of<br>being a professional painter. He stretched Wood's canvasses, and learned to<br>frame paintings, how to mix paints and how to prepare canvas under Wood's<br>supervision. Wood was a very capable businessman, and Salinas learned how to<br>sell and market his art from the English painter. Salinas accompanied Wood and<br>the Spanish-born artist and teacher José Arpa (1858–1952) on sketching trips to<br>the hills and valleys surrounding San Antonio where they painted blooming<br>wildflowers in the spring and the Texas Red Oak in the fall. With his talent and<br>hard work he was soon capable of professional work.<br><br>Professional career<br>Salinas began painting professionally in 1930, when he was twenty years old.[4]<br>His early work was influenced by his mentor Robert Wood's paintings.[5] He<br>painted many scenes of Texas bluebonnets, the state flower, which were sold to<br>tourists by the artists and galleries in San Antonio, Texas. In 1939 he began<br>working with the art dealer Dewey Bradford (1896–1985), who sold paintings,<br>frames and art supplies in the state capital of Austin.<br><br>National recognition<br>While Salinas sold his work steadily, by 1960 he was known primarily to Texas<br>collectors and tourists who visited San Antonio. In 1961, this changed rapidly<br>with the election of his collector Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) to the Vice<br>Presidency of the United States. With his ascension from the United States<br>Senate to being Vice President, Johnson and his wife Lady Bird Johnson<br>(1912–2007) purchased a large French-style chateau from the socialite and<br>heiress Perle Mesta (1889–1975). They decorated the house with French antiques<br>and tapestries that were already in the home, but the foyer was hung with Texas<br>wildflower paintings by Salinas. Lady Bird Johnson was quoted as saying, "I want<br>to see them when I open the door, to remind me of where I come from." At the<br>time of the President Kennedy's assassination, Salinas had completed a scene of<br>a horse drinking titled "Rocky Creek" that was meant to be presented to Kennedy<br>during his ill-fated visit to Dallas. Lyndon Johnson told the Washington press<br>that Porfirio Salinas was "his favorite artist." President Johnson also<br>presented a Salinas painting to President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico as an<br>official gift from the United States. The patronage of the President was a<br>tremendous boost to the artist's career and during the 1960s, his work sold<br>briskly for ever higher prices. The Johnsons' Salinas paintings remain in the<br>collection of the LBJ Ranch today. President and Lady Bird Johnson were both<br>advocates and admirers of wildflowers. Lady Bird Johnson will always remain<br>linked to the subject of wildflowers because of her "Beautify America" campaign<br>and the Highway Beautification Act, which was passed by the United States<br>Congress in 1965. As part of that effort, many miles of Texas roadsides were<br>seeded with Texas bluebonnets, Lupinus texensis, the flowers that Salinas is<br>known for painting.<br><br>Death and posthumous reputation<br>Salinas was recognized by the city of his birth, Bastrop, Texas in 1960, when he<br>was fifty years old. He had a solo exhibition at the Witte Museum in San Antonio<br>in 1962. His work was widely published by the New York Graphic Society, which<br>added to his national reputation. In 1967 his work illustrated a book titled<br>Bluebonnets and Cactus that was published in Austin.<br><br>Salinas died on April 18, 1973, after a brief illness. He was memorialized in<br>the City of Austin with Porfirio Salinas Day in 1973. Ruth Goddard wrote a book<br>titled Porfirio Salinas that was published two years after his death. There is a<br>Youth Art Exhibition showcasing work by K-12 students, named after the artist,<br>held each year in Bastrop.
