Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing all of our clients, friends and family in the U.S. and our American friends, family and clients here in Canada a very Happy Thanksgiving.  We would like to thank everyone for making our first year (which we celebrated last week) here in Hamilton a great one.  We are grateful for the warm welcome by neighbors and clients, many of whom we are happy to now call friends.  We are also grateful for the continued support and friendship of our clients from Port Hope.  It is a time when we are especially thankful to be living here in Canada and as always, we feel lucky that we get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice.

We will have shortened holiday hours tomorrow 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For the next two weeks we will be posting lots of smaller items, many of which are great for gifting.  But remember, nothing says Happy Holidays like original art!!

Pair of Curtis Jere Wall Sculptures

We've been lucky over the last month to find a number of great Curtis Jere pieces.  These signed Jere sculptures are pretty unique.  In the foreground of each are three trees with branches covered in delicate leaves.  Behind the trees sit a mailbox and pathway to a farmhouse with a windmill and winding fence.  When lit properly, the shadows of the tree branches and leaves add another dimension to the whole effect of the sculptures.  36" h., 20" w.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD

George and Martha Washington Chromolithographs

The intent was to list these yesterday as a celebratory post for America's first female president.  Yesterday was too devastating a day to post anything.  Today I post these in memory of all the things which made my homeland great...inclusion, diversity, respect for others, tolerance, charity, creative excellence....and in the hope that we all do what we can to ensure that the true American values we cherish are not Trumped.

This pair of chromolithographs of George and Martha Washington were done by Hines Strobridge.  The Strobridge Litho Co. was founded in 1861.  In that year, Strobridge opened his gallery of portraits and advertised that his prints were made with "warranted oil-colors".  "His finely-rendered portrait of George Washington became an early icon in the world of chromolithography and gained attention from as far away as Philadelphia."  He was based in Cincinnati.  This image of Washington is based on a Gilbert Stuart painting.  The pair retain their original 19th c. frames.  16" h., 12.5" w.  American, c. late 19th c.  SOLD
