About the Item

Artist: Howard Rees – American (1941- ) Title: Untitled Year: circa 1985 Medium: Watercolor Sight size: 14 x 20 inches. Framed size: 21 x 27 inches Signature: Signed lower right Condition: Very good Frame: Framed in original frame. Frame in good condition This watercolor is by the well-known American artist Howard Rees. It depicts a stream in or below the mountains. I speculate that this painting was done plein air by Rees in California’s Gold country near the Sierras. The painting is in very good condition with no flaws to note. The mat and wooden frame are in good condition and go well with the painting. Howard Rees went to the Art Center College of Design, in Los Angeles, where he earned his Bachelor in Fine Arts Degree in 1964. Later he accepted a position with Ford Motor Company in England. After leaving England he continued to work with Ford in Detroit, designing the ever-popular Mustang line. Cold, long, Michigan winters drove him back to California and to The Mattel Toy Company where he designed many of the red line era Hot Wheels cars. Later he worked on the Major Matt Mason action figure toy line-up. When he stopped designing Hot Wheels, his good friend Larry Wood, who he had worked with at Ford, took over his job. In 1975 he chose to focus totally on his love of painting, and since that time has developed his career as a full time artist. Today he paints with equal proficiency in both watercolor and oil, and loves the unique challenges each medium presents. His subject matter extends to Americana, local Gold Country scenes, intimate European street studies and magnificent vistas.
