About the Item

To stand before one of Tim McGuire‘s works is to be immersed in a world of colorful energy and vibrant joy. Common objects sing with lively brushstrokes and unexpected colors. One can feel the artist's delight in his surroundings: a walk in the wintry woods, a book with a comforting pot of tea, the azure sea with its fishing boats and shacks. scenes of domestic life shimmer and sparkle under his brush. Comments likening his work to Van Gogh are common, but McGuire has a style all his own. Having trained in traditional, academic painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, he stayed on and taught for 10 years. When he left Italy it wasn’t to return to his native New York, but to Nova Scotia, to a small fishing village where he married, started a family, and set up a studio. McGuire found his muse in catches of fish and fishing shacks, in the woods, and in family life. There is a childlike wonder and enthusiasm for life that permeates his work, taking us back to the magic of childhood when all things were possible and filled with color.

  • Le Romaine
    By Dale Zinkowski
    Located in Wenham, MA
    Le Romaine is an original oil painting on panel. It is framed in a water-gilded gold frame. The overall dimensions with the frame are approximately 10x14 inches. Master Still Life painter Dale Zinkowski was born in New York and his earliest memories of painting and drawing were from his Grandfather's own work, which hung throughout the home. Fascinated by the world around him, and the ability to capture fleeting moments on paper, he began to draw and paint from nature almost exclusively. ​From 1993-97, he attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he studied the Reilly method with both Marvin Mattelson and John F. Murray. Inspired by the techniques, and hungry for more information, he began copying from the old masters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  ​When Murray moved his studio to Tucson, Arizona, Dale followed and focused his studies on the palettes, methods, and materials of artists such as Velazquez and Rembrandt.  ​In 2012, Dale attended the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, where he pushed his understanding of traditional techniques and materials even further while drawing and painting master copies in museums and painting landscapes in the countryside.  ​In 2013, Dale returned to New York City, where he immersed himself in the full-time program at Grand Central Atelier studying under Jacob Collins, Ted Minoff, Will St. John and Colleen Barry...
