Not Flea Market Art at all, but some art my wife had hidden away. Francis Paraison http://www.depass1.com/ArtByFrancis/index.htm

Another image of my Hatterman. I love the story iherent in this image the young nubile female finds the water enticing and beckons the older yet beautiful mother holding the child to come closer to the pool. Mother charged with the future in her arms stands back from the water refraing both from its wonder and its dangers. This is such a large painting one must really click through it to see the painting to any advantage.

A Nola Hatterman quite a magnificent Oil on Canvas. Magnificent size too about four feet by three it is quite a large painting. A bit of a mystery here as I can find very little about Nola Hatterman except that there is an art institute named after him or is it her in Surinam and the agents wished to remain mute regarding how this oil ended up being sold by its owners.

Oil on canvass by Guszich a very nice painting by anyones standards. I found a little info on Guszich - he painted in the first half of the twentieth century and seemed to specialize in images of older Jewish men. Odd what you can find in a thrift store for ten dollars.

This unsigned work is what I refer to as my East Tennessee Monet or sometime as simply the lost Monet. Hey itis unsigned and I can read into that what I want right? A charming mix of a rather well done impressionistic foreground and a background that is best described as Don Ross Public TV Theraputic edge of palet knife scrapings. Genious!

Thisis just plain awful.So horrid that it is positively inspired. Twisted, warped, just plain ugly if you ask me. Given all that I understand that this style of painting has become terribly popular.

This is one of three Kushner limited edition nudes. You may have noticed that I like nudes - well I am a guy and I am supposed to like nude women - but somehow I really do think that for me they are somehow extra special.

Have I been neglecting your wine glass? There that is better, oh and do click on the image, looks much nicer enlarged.

Oriental flowers and birds - signed "Young" both in english and as a glyph - just delightful. Should any of my hode of viewers have a clue to the history of this oriental masterpiece I'd love to know.

Of course do click on the image and view the enlarged version.

Anexcellent Bob Ross type painting oil on wood every collector must have an example of Bob Ross - listen closely and you can here his sonourous voice and the oil scrapes onto the canvase - "its your world and you can do anything you want - there are no mistakes in your world just change it ito what you like - Ah PBS therapy --------- another sip of MPW perhaps?

Slathering globs of oil scraped with liberty onto the canvas somehow come together to make - a forest. Signed V. Bellvile

This painting is so nice the wife immeadiately absconded with it to hang in one of her special places.

The three woodblocks frame Becky making a contrast with nudity as part and parcel of everyday life - the bath - and nudity as a lure an enticement.

Ah Becky! a simple elegant sexy nude - ink on silk signed Becky.

Dang been tryin gto get an image of this masterpeice for some time - a limited edition print. Dated 64 signed ? Maryann Koebler ? I'd be interested in hearing others opinions about this disturbing peice of art - I have my own ideas.

OK the image is awful - small oil on canvase signed Remington if any of the fans of flemarket have a clue as to which Remington I'd be greatful.

Ah a tribute to mothers everywhere who sell their children 's art for naught.

What pray tell would we collectors do without you Moms?

Teresa Prator "New Mexico" oil on wood 1986. Teresa Prator is an art professor over in South Carolina - do a google and take a peak at her work in charcoal - its to die for! I am going to call this an early work of a truly great artist - but on close examination what first passes for someone's quick oil on wood is anything but = there is a definite engagement beteew the imperfections of the plank and the exercise of the artists brush. One of those paintings that lokes better each time one takes the time to well - look.

Would you believe 50 cents? Thanks Mom.

Other than the fact that this is profoundly disturbing and purchased just prior to our tradegy with Victoria I know nothing about this strangly profetic piece - oil on canvase.

Okay I promise to replace all these images with bright and shiney new ones - meanwhile here is the other db cooper.

FResh meat err I mean art. D,B, Cross a definit outsider IMHO. Water color on paper aging due to the acid content of the paper. Mrs Cross passed on in 1986 and the pianting was most likely done in the sixties. I am reminded of fine oriental work with birds and flowers.

Another of the bath - I am not sure if that is a date or a signature on the left again maybe someone of my many visiters can provide a clue. There is indeed one more to this set but the image was too awful even by my standards.

Part of my collection of three woodblocks purchased at an estate sale. Yes I know my images are awful and I promise one day I will do a proper job.

The companion to the Lefevre below. These are both failrly small about six inches or so on a side. I started collecting nudes, but they have always seemed a bit rare to come by at least in the world of fle market art or at least in the world of what I am able to pay for art. So it is always a thrill when I make a find like this.

Most recent additions and I've still not covered all my older material. This appears to be the work of R. J. Lefevre. Lefevre was an art proffessor at the nearby University of Tennessee. He was known for a series of paintings called the Art of War depicting the horrible battles of our bloody and to my mind unessassary civil war (properly an iridentionist war not a civil war). This is a very limited edition print.

Just added to the collection now where to hang this masterpiece - signed Rocko seems to be oil on - and I love this - emory cloth. You simply must click on the image and view this enlarged.

Yes why express ones genious on expensive stretched canvas when there is emery cloth? Don't let your muse be stiffled by the expense think out of the canvase. Besides which I simply love the painting the grit gives a background of subtle sparkling essence to the work - the cup not only threatens to runeth over but goes through some sort of dimensional trauma to do so.

Not to mention the promise of the grapes fufilled in the contents of the cup. I love it I love it I love it! Say speaking of wine glasses does yours need another refill? There that's better.

Shame on me I've forgotten the artist name - a nice old lady near Venice Florida who paints for the local galeries. I'll get the name - after all that is what the edit function is for right? This is simply a very nice oil, in fact its quite nice. I can't quite remember what I paid but it was either a quarter of fifty cents, and I have a matching painting purchased for the same price!. Something is so terribly wrong when one can buy a nice oil painting into which such work and talent has been brushed for a quarter or was it fifty cents?.
