boy.JPG (39443 bytes)
Large oil on canvas. The artist Hutcheson titled this on the side of the stretcher Boy With Lantern. There is still a paper tag on the back from a San Francisco art exhibit in 1963. 


One of our first buys from 1993. Found at a flea for $1, it shows houses of different colors on a slope in Pittsburgh's

 

 

fisher.JPG (28288 bytes)
My favorite. Signed  Emerick. I look at this painting constantly and see it differently. Emerick put triangles everywhere, in the sky, in the water, on the dock, everywhere. And they don't hit you right away. They creep up on you until you realize "Hey, there's triangles everywhere!".  I could look at this painting for hours. Roughly 18"x24".

teepee.JPG (50425 bytes)

A great painting. I found five or six from this artist at an estate sale, all around $2 each. Signed Leander Kirstein, they are all historic sorta.

people.JPG (40791 bytes)

One of my favorites, about 2x3. Signed Emerick, no date. I bought probably ten of these at one house sale for $1 apiece. Most are sold. 

dutch.JPG (34170 bytes)
My one and only partner started us off with this one from the Dutch school. Oil on board, about 18x24. Good moody colors and forms

mushroom.JPG (26092 bytes)
Magic mushroom poster from the sixties, under glass. Almost three feet tall. I think it was $2.

fence.JPG (40056 bytes)
A little unsigned oil on academy board, probably forties or early fifties. My Van Gogh.

discard2.JPG (47262 bytes)
Another Kirstein

green.JPG (38276 bytes)

Another Emerick. Create bold strokes across the middle and great greens, which few artists embrace.

bpbn.JPG (59263 bytes)

The first ever paint by number, Abstract#1. I found this in a used furniture store for $8 and sold it for $500. No kidding!

swiss.JPG (50547 bytes)

Another pbn, this one in an original labeled frame, almost unheard of. J.Edgar Hoover Swiss Village style, cost 1.95, sold for $125!

desert1.JPG (46558 bytes)

Another original frame, this one an Ethel Merman Desert Scene.

 

mexico.JPG (45883 bytes)

I can't get enough of this little six inch on thin wood board view of a southwestern courtyard with a man coming out of the shadows. I'm fascinated by this little painting. Spanish writing on back and signed.

discard24.JPG (40991 bytes)

A paint by number gone mad.

$3 in the frame, wanted $7! Great big 2' by 3' oil on canvas board. One of the biggest boards I've seen.

queen.JPG (25181 bytes)

Looks like a young Queen Elizabeth. On masonite and pretty big, painted with oils and acrylics, unsigned. I think it cost $2.

refugees.JPG (33136 bytes)

One of our newest from 2002, $1.95 at Thrift Store. Unbelievably, an exhibition tag from The 6th Annual Carolinas College Art Show of 1963 still on the frame titles the art "The Refugees" and lists the artist as Katrina Sahli

gemini.JPG (34025 bytes)

A big painting of Gemini capsule in the water. The frogmen are standing on a ring that would blow-up when the capsule hit. I got this from a place that only wanted the frame to use in a haunted house and not the art! Dated 1966, Tripoli.

tile.JPG (32012 bytes)

An earthenware tile. The artist signed the piece and put her name and address on the back. A terrific bonus. I found her number and called and she talked for an hour. She's 80 and did these years ago for family and eventually for art fairs.

discard6.JPG (29543 bytes)

Great landscape from the 30's, Signed Dudek,  36" long. 

prayer.JPG (36390 bytes)

A great  image, oil on canvas, over two feet tall. The artist did the frame with plaster over wood. Signed Philpot. No date.

lantern.JPG (34318 bytes)

Looks like Frank Duveneck, but its not. I don't think. The paint on this is almost spread across the board and its real dry, like oils that are super aged. The color layers are great but hard to see.

cube.JPG (45913 bytes)

A big 3'x4', oil on canvas and signed Barnes with a Japanese monogram. Sorta cubist. Sorta. This was expensive...$9!

One of a lot of watercolors we bought for ten bucks...for around forty of them! I framed this one.

  I was in New York City working from August 28 to Sep. 30, 2003. Near the end of  my stay, my son and his friend (my friend too..Hi Emily!) came up for the weekend. My son drove me out to a Pizza Hut and I was Jonesing for art. Across the street, an oasis!! A Thrift Store!! These two are what I found, a buck each. New York City Discard Art...finally!! The red one is 16x20 oil on canvas panel signed Holda and the surfers are 18x24 acrylic on canvas panel.


Eastgate Flea market find, 24x30, $4, I think acrylic and oil on canvas.

2x3, acrylic on artists board, hyper realism makes this almost abstract

On a big slab of slim fiberboard, this looks like a backdrop of some kind. Roughly 4x6

My Chagall

Nice winter from cool vantage point.

A co-worker sold me this after her daughter moved out and left ten or so of these from art school. 3feetx3feet, its stunning! $20, one of the highest prices ever paid but we really like it.


Oil on canvas, 2x3, great portarit of kids and composition is cool.

Red, White and Blue Thrift Store, $2.95, 24x48, acrylic and black woodblock on canvas.
All these and 20 more for $5 from Pearl Gurley estate. The watercolors are around 5"x8" and signed Heralda, the marbleized paper (psychedelic!) is 12x18 and the nude is 18x24 on canvas board.
       
 
Acrylic on canvas, 16"x20", $3.95 thrift store find. Look at the detail pic.

 18"x28", $1.95.
 
Like a Winslow Homer study, great atmosphere, on masonite, 20x24, all grays and whites and blacks. Looks like the artist used the right side of board as palette.On reverse of the Homer, an impressionist style
