| Figure and Portrait |
Where portraits can be historical and expressions of charm or expertise, figure painting examines the human form. Capturing form in motion can successfully express emotion and the beauty of the human figure. If you do not find a figure or portrait painting you are looking for, please call or email, we may not have cataloged it yet." |

Possibly the work of Ammi Phillips, these portraits portray a lady and gentleman seated in red painted chairs. The light that is captured in the ruffles of the woman's shawl by the artist is beautiful. Their stark expressions are very pleasant.
Paul King, a well-known impressionist hailing from New York and Pennsylvania, had a unique and lush impressionistic style to his work. This painting was likely executed while in Nova Scotia, a place he often visited. It is signed on the lower left.

Zoning out on the beach you see a lot of paddleball; but again only the thought not visual really, informed this work.
As it took shape, I found myself channeling the work of Grigory Gluckmann (1898-1959) a little-known (but just try to buy one!!) painter of misty, poetic figures.
Among the similarities here are the hairstyles, the soft, pudgy body types and the...
The painter Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851 – 1938) often depicts elegant yet distant women, their gaze averted, shrouded in a mysterious haze that follows them everywhere – even indoors!
A similar misty atmosphere seems to veil this American- looking but totally imaginary wraith. Dewing would probably have loved swimming pool blue.

Think of all the effort and schemeing put forth by mankind to come up with a squirrel-proof bird feeder! Nature's simple answer is the somewhat trashy multi-headed sunflower.
I hardly ever paint birds, but when I first laid in the one goldfinch (it took only seconds) I was surprised by how...
Perhaps what distingishes an artist most in their ability to apply their own impression of a composition. When a painting takes on an emotive interpretation as well as sophisticated rendering it becomes a trye work of art. "Dotted Swiss" takes you into a peaceful interpretation of the artist's imagination. A tranquil and beautiful painting. This painting...
There is a reason we choose this image as the cover of our catalog of Grace Gemberling Keast's work. The image is powerful. Painted in the early 1930s, "Unemployed" expresses a period in time when nothing was definite, especially the economy. The introspective look of the figure and his body language suggest the situation before you ever know the title of the...
A vibrant and exceptional example of the work of Edmund Henry Osthaus (1858-1928). Osthaus, one of the most desirable sporting painters, painted this illustration of three dogs in the hunt.

A hunt scene acquired directly from the estate of Maude Drein Bryant.
This profile of this sketch was a common theme by Gorky. ALthough he never spoke of much of being an Armenian Jew during the Holocaust, Gorky's work often expressed the sadness and longing that emerged from such suppressed experiences. He had painted this stylized interpretation of his mother whom he had lost tragically during the Holocaust. This is an excellent example of...
