About the Item

Every now and then, even we dealers get fooled. This painting was sold to me as by George Gardner Symons. It bears his signature. At some point, the FBI (yes!) showed up at my door to ask me whether I had bought art from the seller. Well, it's a FORGERY. A good painting, with signature expertly forged by someone who got away with it for awhile - and then didn't. At any rate, now it's just a lovely winter scene. I paid a lot for it. My loss, your gain. If you buy this, please do NOT try to pass it off to someone as a Symons, unless you enjoy visits from the FBI. HA! 28”h x 23.5”w (20”h x 16”w unframed) Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.

  • "Sunrise on the Marsh" - Framed 19th Century Antique Landscape Painting
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    I wish I could figure out who this super-talented artist of the 1800's "Mort R.", was. He painted this gorgeous swamp scene in 1872, but his signature did not include his last name and so we don't know who he was! At any rate, if you have ever visited Louisiana, or the Carolina coast, or even parts of Texas, you will understand how beautifully the artist has captured the special light coming up over a swamp early in the morning. A pirogue has been pulled up at the edge of a small island. The sun is just peeking over the horizon, gently shedding its subtle light. Comes in an exquisite gilt and plaster 19th...

  • Coming In & Going Out ( Plein Air Landscape painting green yellow colors)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...

  • I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay, River Landscape Oil on Canvas, Western Art
    By Michael Ome Untiedt
    Located in Whitefish, MT
    I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay by Michael Ome Untiedt Oil on Canvas, 36" x 48", 43" x 55" (framed), hanging hardware included. From the artist: "In Memory of Tom Horn: This is another of my feeble attempts to break down, to rage against the tyranny of time. I have fought this battle for a half century, yet my limbs grow slower, my hair more moon-bleached. I ponder as I apply brush strokes to the canvas, what thoughts pass through the viewer of this work a hundred years hence, two hundred years later? Will they know what I carry in my heart today? Am I on a great mandala of life, and will I return one day to this same experience, or am I adrift on a great "river" flowing endlessly through the Cosmos, heeding shoal water and seeking shoreline that is forever changing? A dear friend passed this week from the plague scourging our fair land. When and where will I hear his sweet self deprecating laughter again?" Born and raised in rural southeastern Colorado, Michael Ome Untiedt maintains a studio in Denver. Traveling extensively, he is known as a painter of the world who sees with a westerner’s eye. Through the color, brush strokes, and symbolic subject matter of his paintings, he attempts to examine the human predicament and its connections to the landscape and history of the American West. He is driven to portray twenty-first-century psychology on a nineteenth-century saddle! Untiedt has participated in numerous shows including the Western Masters Art Show and Sale, Settler’s West Miniatures Show and Art of the American West...
