What art is in your home?

I can't resist posting my little kids' pictures all over the walls. Lots of unicorns, rainbows, and flowers.

Kid art is the BEST!

Quite nice work! I have a large oil painting of a buffalo in a blizzard I'd bought from the artist at an art fair in 1976 for $125. A fair chunk of change for a college student back then. About 8 years ago I got curious to see if the artist ever made it big and googled his name. Turned out he became a fairly well known western artist. That got me even more curious and I contacted the gallery handling his paintings to ask what mine might now be worth and he guestimated $4000. My own "antiques roadshow" moment.

Farm house on the outside, west coast themed upper level inside our custom new home.

British Columbia artist Roy Henry Vickers limited print of an octopus. We had a really nice framing job done. While waiting for pick up, it inspired a locally retired NHL hockey player to get a print of his framed similarly!

We have two pieces designed by First Nations artist Trevor Husband, done in metal work by artisan Jerrod Pinder at Rugged Coast Art.

Pretty stoked to welcome this portrait of Hank Williams by Hardison Collins III into my home.

I like your planes.

I've got some propellers in my basement. LOL I love old planes (old cars & old trains). I have some model planes in the basement & library but I don't have any photos.

A painting of a drunk cowboy riding a goat by George Zupp of Marathon, TX. This may be my new favorite piece of art in my home.

I find one photo of one of the model planes in the basement. It was in a different photo file.

Nice work. I especially like the fish.

A lovely piece, DeaconKC.

In my household there are about 20 prints of Tamara de Lempicka's work. In my study I have an especially large print of her picture of Prince Eristoff.

I love Tamara de Lempicka. I have a couple of prints in my house too.

For me, maritime art all (well, most, of the way - I like 1920s erotica but...)

I have some vintage pieces hanging: a 1960s era print of the Wavertree ship (which is currently preserved in NYC's South Street Seaport Museum) - this came with a book as well; then a vintage print of a 1925 painting by German artist Johannes Holst. Other items are from books and magazines. Two book pages I bought, but I also have the book as well (with the pages in) - these were by a German artist and the book is "Unter Segel Rund Kap Hoorn". The magazine pages are from a 1930s National Geographic - story by Australian sailor Alan Villiers. I also have some vintage German Cape Horn ship post cards: the photo one is the Passat (which is kept preserved in Travemunde if I recall right), the other is a painting of a ship. There's also a vintage small print that I got of a ship which I really liked, and a poster print of Frank Vinning Smith's Far Horizons.

Love your ships. I only have one painting that has a ship. I picked it up at a local vintage shop. I have no idea when it was painted (it could be very modern???). I just liked it. I hung it over my couch in the LV room.

BTW St. Germain liqueur did a series of posters that depicted 1920s erotica. They were very tastefully done. They sent them to us for free when we signed up on their website several years ago. When we got the first one we had no idea they would send more each year. It was a real treat. Sadly, they stopped sending them to us so we just have three posters and some postcards. I don't know if they still send them to new people who sign up on their website but you might try it.

Here's a photo that shows the ship painting. It's not a very good angle but it's the only photo I have of it.

About five years ago, I wrote an article on Ed Reep, a World War II combat artist who served in North Africa and Italy. He was alive when the article was published in AMERICA IN WWII magazine and I was so, so very glad he got to see it. Sadly, he died a few years later, having lived to well into his 90s. His daughter was taking a cross country trip and was coming through Nebraska. She wanted to meet me for supper. So, I met her and her husband and she had a gift for me: a giclee print of one of her father's artworks that he did in Italy. It is called "Pack Train" and depicts the slog of taking supplies through the mud in Italy. All of the art he did during the war is at the U.S. Army Center for Military History in D.C. , so to have a print of this is indeed special.

I had the print framed this year and it is now in my living room.

Nice!!

I have a Sargent reproduction of The Daughters of Edward Darley Bolt, acquired in college with $250 GI Bill funds
because for some inexplicable insane reason I thought it an original knockoff by Sargent himself.
Hangs inside my apartment today as a reminder of my youthful idiocy.

Had a wild week provenance chasing. Last Monday nite my brother-in-law stopped by to drop off some
of my sister's home cooking for this bachelor, looked at the painting and remarked for my sake that the original
hangs at the Boston Metropolitan Museum of Art where he personally viewed it.

You should have told him that's nice and then tell him how glad you are that you get to view your copy every day. : )

Oh I do. This is a regular routine exchange between us. Madame X is my usual segue away from the Daughters.
She hangs at the MET in New York and one of my favorites.
...off topic dovetail...a buddy at the office inherited an original Anthony Quinn self portrait, told him to contact
a local auction house for a market value estimate. Quinn possessed exceptional talent and also sculpted marble
and wood at the Art Institute of Chicago. When I lived downtown I prowled the lesser known back burner
art galleries looking for any available Quinn.
