Large antique Orientalist oil painting by Jean Baptiste Louis Guy
French, 1884
Canvas: Height 49cm, width 67cm
Frame: Height 72cm, width 91cm, depth 9cm
Painted in 1884 by the French artist Jean Baptiste Louis Guy (1824-1888), the painting depicts a serene Orientalist scene filled with figures and animals. Louis Guy’s artworks are in the collections of several museums such as the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum.
In the foreground is a male figure sitting atop a donkey. Both the animal and the man are carrying baskets filled with goods, suggesting they are on their way back from a market. The bright yellow shoes are a striking feature drawing one’s eye to the centre of the composition. Behind the central figure is a slightly busier setting with many people resting on the curb, walking their animals, or packing their purchases. Most are dressed in cream-coloured garments, with several pops of colour spread throughout the painting. While Louis Guy mostly depicted donkeys in this painting, a lone dog is sleeping on the sandy ground.
The background is filled with a stone building which appears to be a market. Next to it is a pair of bright green doors leading to a further part of the village, which the observer is unable to see. A lush composition of green palm trees emerges from behind the building while most of the upper part of the piece is filled with a superb blue sky.
In the lower right, the canvas is signed ‘Louis Guy 1884’, and the painting is framed in an elaborate giltwood frame.
Louis Guy brilliantly painted this scene, making it a very desirable and beautiful example of Orientalist art.

View AllGroup portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
Located in London, GB
This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire.
Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...

Teller 3
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
"Teller 3" Oil on Canvas presents a singular form and background in varying shades of green, blue, yellow and white and eart tones.
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer.
Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
