Myrtle Lillian Stedman (1908-2007) 1931 Houston Texas Watercolor of Southern woman of color Feeding chickens. This is a really great watercolor from 1931 when she was living in Houston Texas and attending the Houston Museum of Fine Arts School. I personally find it extremely refreshing to find a picture from this era depicting a woman of color just "doing her thing" in a non derogatory fashion. 9.25" x 11.5" sight in a 15.5" x 18" frame. No issues with painting or frame. It's behind museum glass. It came with a note that I seem to have lost but it was just a pre-internet explanation of the importance of the artist with notes of when it was reframed behind museum glass. Myrle is more famous for her New Mexico landscapes, I personally find this one very interesting and refreshing. Myrtle Stedman was known as an “Artist in Adobe,” designing, building, and remodeling adobe homes under a contractor’s license.

c1980 Bob white Quail Watercolor by Anita Diebel. Very nice watercolor from the seventies or 80's. 13.75" framed 9.5" sight. No issues or damage. ART has always been part of my life. It is my personal means of expression, of reaching out, of sharing my world and the wonder I find within it. The marvels of nature infuse my work, whether realistic or abstract. I am blessed, now, to live by the sea, where endless horizons meet marvelous sunrises and the sound of the gull, the heron, the crane mingle with the music of wind whistling in the palms. Every turn in my life brings new inspiration. My art is a delightful journey of never ending exploration. I find joy in each experience and delight when the viewer findS Something within my work that reaches out to them. I will never paint all the things that call to me but I shall surely try. Enjoy Anita Diebel is recognized for her sensitive water-media and collage paintings that resonate with layers of color and texture. An intuitive painter, her work evolves from an inner spirit as she responds to the interaction of colors and shapes, line and rhythm. Each painting is the combination of many layers: painted, collaged, obscured, found, hidden, enhanced and melded into the whole as the many events in our lives serve to make us who we are, a combination of that which has gone before, that which we experience and that of which we dream. Diebel's paintings hang in private and corporate collections throughout the US and abroad. Her work has been honored with awards at local, national and international levels. She has attained signature status in Texas Watercolor Society, Southwest Watercolor Society and Western Federation of Watercolor Society. b41

Warren Cullar "Arm Chair Dreams" Acrylic on Canvas Austin Texas Listed Artist<br>12" x 16" with no issues or damage.<br><br>Warren Cullar opened his first art gallery as a senior in college. After<br>receiving a BFA in 1965, he joined a staff of six artists in a commercial ad<br>agency and as he says: “I learned more in that one year than I did in 5 years in<br>college." A bigger job was offered to him and he spent a brief career as an<br>advertising director in a large department store. A move to Mexico to study art<br>at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende was a major influence. The<br>color of Mexico is evident throughout the art he has produced during his career.<br>With an MFA degree under his belt, he received a teaching contract from Hardin<br>Simmons University in Abilene, Texas and later opened the art department at<br>Western Texas College, completing 8 years of experience as a college art<br>instructor.<br><br><br>After spending the summer of 1976 in Egypt on a study grant that he had received<br>from the college, he made the decision to become a full-time professional<br>artist. He came to the Austin area and opened an art gallery and 5 years later<br>moved into the Austin home he has now occupied for over 30 years.<br><br>Warren started his art career by selling his hand pulled stone lithographs and<br>watercolors. In the December 1978 issue of Southwest Art Magazine, he was<br>featured in an 11-page article about his art. He continued to produce<br>watercolors and enjoyed selling his work in art fairs in Texas, Colorado, and<br>California.<br><br>In 1982 he read a magazine article about the need for an adventure artist and<br>began traveling the world using his skills as an artist on scientific<br>expeditions in Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Spain, and Easter Island, to name a few<br>of the 49 countries stamped in his passport. Warren travels the world with a<br>sketchbook and watercolors to record his impressions of the various cultures and<br>peoples he encounters.<br><br>In the early 90’s he built an 840 sq. ft. painting studio on the back of his<br>wooded property and took up acrylic painting; then he produced hand-pulled<br>serigraphs and soft ground etchings. One of his collectors asked him to create a<br>sculpture for women who had survived breast cancer. The sculpture was completed<br>and he was captivated by working with clay. That was the first bronze he had<br>created since his student days in Mexico. A large bronze commission was awarded<br>to him and a new direction emerged. Today Warren laughs at the thought that for<br>20 years painting in watercolor was all he ever wanted to do. In 2004 he built a<br>second studio dedicated to sculpture.<br><br>Today, Warren and his wife, Kitty Biel, who has a dual career as an independent<br>CPA , Cruise Planner, and Travel Agent, live and work from their spacious home,<br>two studios and sculpture garden in Austin, Texas. You can find Kitty working in<br>her treetop office on the second floor of their home and Warren creating in the<br>sculpture or painting studio.<br>alt<br><br><br>Warren is an accomplished sculptor and painter, and he extends the opportunity<br>for you to visit, explore his galleries/studios and gardens. You will quickly<br>discover that he simply loves to create and recognizes opportunities to do so in<br>all areas of their space, from the kitchen mosaic on the breakfast room floor to<br>the backsplash in the kitchen made from fish fossils he dug in Wyoming. Warren’s<br>passion for creativity and his seemingly boundless energy keep him constantly<br>moving forward in new directions. In addition to creating new paintings and<br>sculpture, Warren’s goals for the immediate future include finding new<br>opportunities for young artists and he has already coordinated an apprentice<br>program with the local high schools.

André Gisson (1921-2003) Parisian Scene oil on canvas. 16" x 20" in a 22" x 26"<br>frame. Fantastic 1960's Oil on linen by a well listed artist. No issues or<br>damage with painting or frame. Estate fresh, one of a pair with similar subject<br>matter obviously purchased at the same time originally. The other is listed<br>separately.<br><br><br><br>Andre Gisson came to French Impressionism with an unorthodox background. Born<br>Anders Gittelson in Brooklyn New York, the young man recognized that the<br>Impressionist movement favored older French artists who appealed to the upper<br>classes. Given this, he changed his name to Andre Gisson, and adopted a new<br>identity as a Frenchman born in 1910 - actually identifying as an older<br>Frenchman as he wanted to be associated with his famous French forerunners.<br><br><br><br>Gisson spent his remaining years in the Northeast, living in Westport,<br>Connecticut and traveling to New York City now and again. He exhibited in New<br>York, Washington, California, London, Tokyo, and Paris for more than 40 years.<br>Most of his art focused on landscapes, especially beach scenes like this<br>example. Although not a native Frenchman, his oeuvre certainly demonstrates<br>French influence with loose painterly brushwork that conjures a sense of<br>spontaneity and softly conveys the forms, and an emphasis on light effects.<br><br><br><br>Interestingly, this painting is accompanied by an old label that reads, "Andree<br>Gisson: Born in Besancon, France 1920, son of an artisan. Worked in the shop of<br>his father and started painting as a hobby. When a prominent Parisian art dealer<br>happened to see his paintings he was enthused about his talent and arranged a<br>showing of his work in his gallery which turned out a great success. From there<br>on he was on his way. His manner is of that 'conservativ' impressionism and his<br>subjects mainly devoted to the Parisian street scene. He still lives in Paris."<br><br><br><br>I have seen several of Andre Gissons' painting with this label, typically<br>Parisian scenes, all with strong auction results, he originally started with an<br>earlier date of 1899 on the label, then as he started to get more public<br>exposure I guess he decided to change the date to closer to his real birth year.<br>Also the stretchers are made by the same companies of other Gisson paintings<br>I've studies, and the style/quality of the artists work is spot on. I'm 100%<br>sure of the authenticity of these and guarantee it.

She has been profiled in<br>The Artist's Magazine (March 1997 and September 1997) as well as in The<br>International Artist Magazine (August/September 1999).<br><br><br><br>Her paintings are characterized by their impressionist style and by their rich<br>warm palette - an effect achieved in part through Ms Sakellarios' practice of<br>priming her canvases with cadmium red. She paints wet on wet and the resulting<br>works reflect a fluidity of style and an immediacy which capture her subjects<br>with compelling integrity. Her landscapes are gentle, reflective worlds which<br>are imbued with a quiet dignity and elegance. As silent observer, Ms Sakellarios<br>immortalizes the private world to which she often bears witness. Figures may<br>serve as distant focal points: a young child standing in a sea of wildflowers,<br>lost in some moment of child reverie ...a woman reading quietly amidst the<br>shadows of a summer garden. Ms Sakellarios' compositions resonate with light and<br>sentiment and speak to a universally appealing theme of serenity and grace."<br><br>16.5" x 18.5" frame, 8" x 10" masonite panel.

Arthur Bishop Jeffreys (American/Texas, 1892-1970) large Texas landscape painting. 22" x 29" canvas 28" x 35" framed. No damage or notable issues. Nice old painting from the second quarter of the 20th century. Arthur Bishop Jeffreys, 1892-1970, was born in Hillsboro, Texas. He had a mixed career as a painter and newspaper journalist. Starting late to paint in 1923, when in his early thirties, he was employed, 1942 through 1969, by one newspaper, which changed its name three times: the Tyler Morning Telegraph, Tyler Courier-Times, and Courier-Times-Telegraph. He had moved to Tyler, Texas from Dallas in 1936, and for the newspaper worked primarily as a proofreader. However, using the name Arthur Bishop, he also wrote feature articles and shorter columns. As a young man, his destiny lay elsewhere, he was employed by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company, apparently in Dallas, where he worked until 1918 as a road master's clerk, secretary to the chief engineer, and secretary to the general manager. Though he briefly studied in New York with Frederick Jarvis, Jeffreys was essentially self-taught. He died in Tyler, and is buried there.He was a member of the Art Students League, New York City; Chicago Art League, Illinois; Dallas Art Association; and Society of Independent Artists. His work is in the collections of the Hilton Hotel, Waco; and La Grange College, Georgia. His landscapes appeared in magazines including Holland's and Literary Digest in 1926. His 1927 painting of Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, autographed by the flyer, sold for $2,000 at an auction in New York City. Jeffrreys was able to make money from his similarly autographed paintings of World War I ace fighter pilot Eddie Rickenbacker, and Amelia Earhart, the first woman aviator to cross the Atlantic. Shows with Jeffreys work include the Exhibition of Texas Artists, Nashville Museum of Art, Tennessee (1927 prize); and Painters of Texas 1900-1950, Museums of Abilene (1989).
