| Genevieve Goth Graf |
Bouquet in Blue Pitcher |

This painting appeared in our weekly email on 6/10/16 with the following gallery comments:
Genevieve Goth Graf was an angel. She supported her sister, Marie Goth, through her studies. And upon Marie’s return to Indianapolis, Genevieve helped Marie relocate to Brown County. She did this as a teacher and it’s always struck me as a most selfless act. Genevieve was a frequent visitor to Nashville and in the course of that, met and married fellow artist Carl Graf. Her output is more limited than that of her sister and her husband because she worked full time. Today’s painting, Bouquet in Blue Pitcher is very representative of her style. She concentrated on still lifes and loved to set them up as a little tableau -- often employing objects beyond the flowers. The painting has been cleaned and re-varnished and is in very good condition. It’s housed in a gold antique reproduction frame and ready to hang. |

This painting appeared in our weekly email on 4/29/16 with the following gallery comments:
James Eccles was a Chicago banker and when he retired at age sixty, he furiously picked up the pace of his painting. Painting paired with his other retirement devotional – travel. The combination defines his legacy – many watercolors and oils from sojourns to Brown County, the Caribbean and the Far East. He’s known for his ‘high key’ (very bright) palette. Today’s piece, Smokies, reflects yet another travel destination. A simple composition featuring a hilltop cabin, Eccles was very liberal with the paint at the focal point (see detail image). This painting was exhibited at the 1962 Hoosier Salon and still carries the original tag, verso. It’s housed in the original hand-carved frame which was refinished some years ago. The frame and painting pair very nicely together. A nice, squarish piece with great a wonderful exhibition record. |

| Lois Davis |
Three Women |
 |
SOLD
This painting appeared in our weekly email on 5/13/16 with the following gallery comments:
Lois Davis, who’s living in Texas at age 91, spent nearly her whole adult life in Indianapolis (Broad Ripple, specifically). She was married to famous Indiana artist Harry Davis and her career, while prolific and acclaimed, was spent slightly in Harry’s shadow. Today’s work, Three Women, is very representative of her output. She loved doing figural work and often (as in this case), the images flowed from her imagination. The painting is in perfect conditione, nicely framed with conservation materials (as always) and ready to hang. |

This painting was featured in our weekly email on 4/8/2016 with the following gallery comments:
Will Vawter grew up in Greenfield and was largely self-taught. He moved to Brown County in 1908 and after divorcing his wife Mary, moved into Nashville proper in the early 1920s. The fact that he didn’t undertake much in the way of formal instruction is amazing as he was an accomplished etcher/printmaker, illustrator and of course is beloved for his Brown County landscapes. It’s one of those landscapes that we present today – The Storm Cloud – a rare winter landscape. Vawter, as was his style, working with the sunlight and its luminous effect. The canvas has great depth and I love the treatment of light on the stream -- what appears to be utterly nonsensical at close a perspective, resolves itself to the perfect touch with perspective. That’s exactly what the sun is doing in its reflection on the water! The painting has been cleaned and conserved and there is minor in-painting throughout and the upper left area contains areas of loss which have been restored. There is minor crazing in the upper region of the canvas, consistent with age. Housed in a hand-leafed custom reproduction frame and ready to hang. A beloved Hoosier native son, his talents on full display in an important Brown County winter landscape.
