young crow by martin pate

for me, it does not get much better than this. a small oil on canvas featuring a native american subject. this piece was expertly painted by a nationally known, yet local artist. the unpainted space around the boy adds drama & speaks volumes about martin's confidence as a painter. surrounded by a 3 1/4" la rochelle profile by roma moulding ( autumn trail ) this piece sold last weekend & i framed it yesterday. young crow was picked up this morning & is currently being driven west across the country. click on the pictures.

watercolors by troy crisswell

now and then, we receive packages from alabama containing paintings by one of our favorite artist, troy crisswell. it feels like christmas morning... carefully cutting away the cardboard sandwich, marked "do not bend" to reveal the works inside. usually watercolors or oil on panel, these paintings are magnificent. note troy's brushstroke in these figurative pieces. you can click the image for a closer look & visit his site @ www.troycrisswell.com to view more works.
