James McGinley
Fixing the Spur, original 24x20 southwestern figurative impressionist landscape

About the Item

As the rider is gently and carefully fixing the spur on his favorite horse, the mutual feeling of ties between man and his cherished pet is palpable. On a dusty, dry, day in the southwest the world disappears and their bonding and friendship replaces all else. The warm tones add to the mood. The background gold is a constant reminder of the heat of the afternoon sun. Painted during his southwestern period, New Jersey artist James McGinley, former chairman of the fine art department of the famed Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, exemplifies the diversity of his skills in this rare, one of a kind original southwestern figurative impressionist landscape. It is framed in a highly rustic and distressed custom frame to suit the subject matter of the painting. The unframed painting is 24x20. James McGinley passed away in 2021.

Waiting on Brandy, original 24 x 28 figurative equestrian hunt landscape
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
The thrill of traversing the beautiful spring countryside rushes color to their cheeks, tightens their calves, lowers their heels and steadies their hands as they ready for the hunt. The horn is sounded, the hounds begin chase and the riders reassure their horse while urging them forward. The scent of the fox, the chase, the jumping across the creeks and over downed branches has come to an end for another equestrian hunt shared with the other highly regarded club members. They walk their horses for a while as the horses and hounds cool down and the riders are waiting on brandy to mellow out the day's excitement. With pristine riding gear intact they let their minds wander to both family and club hunts and events of times gone by. Artist Joseph Sundwall...
