| Otto Stark |
Early Morning |

This work was featured in our 2nd Annual Curated Sale of Historic Indiana Art, April 8th, 2018 at the Indianapolis Art Center.

We have a late addition -- Otto Stark's Early Morning (imaged above) was just inserted into the sale. It's an interesting piece -- very tonal! Of historic note is that Stark and J. Ottis Adams traveled to New Smyrna, FL at the end of 1920 and painted there in the winter of 1921. This would have surely come from that trip. |

Kenneth Reeve moved to Brown County from Chicago where he had been a commerical illustrator. Once relocated to the Peaceful Valley, he studied etching under George Jo Mess and became a very good printmaker. Today's paintings are two cute little watercolors -- Reeve's other preferred medium. Very Brown County! |

Dale Bessire had a pretty predictable formula -- large, pallete knife (and certainly brush) landscapes depicting simple, pastoral Brown County landscapes. Many of these reflect Autumn. Spring Stream (Bessire's title) breaks rank with what we often see -- a cute little vernal landscape. It could be today in Brown County with the dogwood and the redbud just showing their colors. And I think, off to the left is that secret grove of morel mushrooms by the fallen Elm tree! Clean, perfect condition, original frame -- a nice compact work. |

| Varaldo Guiseppe (V.J.) Cariani |
Still Life with Zinnia |
 |
This painting was featured in our weekly email on 2/3/17 along with the following gallery comments:
V. J. Cariani spent nearly his entire adult life in Nashville, IN. He was the lifetime partner of famous portraitist Marie Goth and a very accomplished painter himself. While he painted many landscapes, his specialty was floral still lifes. They typically featured flowers from his garden, often feature a blue damask table cloth and the floral output was nearly always large and tightly rendered. Today's example is straight from that playbook. |
