The Estate of Dr. James Walsh, DVM
The items within this gallery have been consigned to
the Gallery for sale by Dr. Walsh's sister. Nearly all the items are
limited edition art prints... there is one original pencil drawing. These are
works of art which were displayed in Dr. Walsh's office and home. All
of these pieces are framed... most of the frames are quality wood
frames with only cosmetic marring. At the moment all of these prints and the original drawing appear to be in good
condition, however the gallery has not disassembled any of these
framed prints for
closer inspection... all dustcovers are intact. Most of these
framed pieces have been in their frames for ten years or more and a few of the
mats are showing a browning of the core material, in these cases, the gallery
recommends re-matting and the inclusion of current day conservation
grade materials to ensure a long art-safe life.

The Estate of Dr. Lester & Mrs.
Pearl Stein
This gallery contain works of art purchased by
Doctor and Mrs. Stein and consigned to the Gallery after Dr. Stein's
passing. Nearly all of these works were purchased in the mid-1900's
and at that time these artists were relatively unknown. Of the
works remaining in the collection... two artists John Friedlinger and
Czene Janos Apatfalvi, have become "known" artists whose works are
sold in
auction houses both in Europe and the United States. A recent sale of
a Friedlinger painting, very similar to the one shown in this gallery,
sold in the Atlanta metropolitan area for $4,800. This painting, and the
two pieces by
Apatfalvi that the Gallery has on-hand, are excellent, period works of art for
addition to the decor of historic homes
of owners wishing to maintain the authenticity of the period.
Alternative and appropriate alternative framing is available from the
Gallery.
The smaller pieces
- all originals - are an eclectic mix of original oriental art and
childlike fantasy.

Art Gallery 1-B (Robert Wood)
This gallery contains only one work of art, that being an "Evening in the Valley"
by American artist Robert Wood (1889 to 1979). Robert William Wood
paintings are highly collectible with the greatest
interest seeming to be for pieces considered "Western". In
1924 Mr. Wood moved to San Antonio, Texas and - according to some -
achieved
artistic maturity while studying under Spanish artist
Jose Arpa. The piece being offered in this gallery is dated 1941, the cusp year between
Wood's "American and California Eras". The highest
recorded auction sale for one of Robert Wood's originals is slightly over $45,000
and that painting like this one was dated
1941. Here are some of the specifics not mentioned in the
gallery notes... this painting is in excellent condition, there is no
noted chipping or cracking . There is a "dimple" in the canvas -
about the size of the end of a finger - in the tree tops to the left
center of the painting. The colors are bright, which would
suggest that the painting it is not in need of cleaning. The
gold frame shows age and cracking on the surface (but no breakage or
imminent breakage), most of the cracks run perpendicular to the painting. There are some edge scrapes and small chips on
this frame. The gallery will not be offering this painting to
an auction house for sale, it will sell from this location. The Gallery is offering a $500 finder's fee to any one person assisting in the
referral of a buyer of the painting. If you or
someone you know is interested in this painting, please
contact the gallery.

Gallery 1-C (Bev Doolittle) This
gallery consists of limited edition prints by the well-known American
artist Bev Doolittle. There are fourteen (prints) or sets of
prints available, some duplications. Two prints are framed -
"Eagle Heart" and "Prayer for the Wild Things". Both
framed prints are in excellent condition and nicely framed. All other
prints are in their original envelopes. Many of Ms Doolittle's
works came with something additional, such as a compact disk or
book... two of our prints are accompanied by these inclusions, others
may not be. Most of the paintings in this era of Ms. Doolittle's
art took on a western or wildlife context, and many of the characters
or creatures were camouflaged... for instance, "Prayer for the Wild
Things" has 27 species and 34 animals hidden in the print.
These prints are highly collectible and the prices and numbers in the
editions highlight this fact.
