About the Item

Original oil on board still life painting of roses in a blue and white porcelain pitcher. Signed lower right by the artist and dated 1999. Condition is excellent. The painting is housed in a gold gallery frame with narrow linen liner. Overall framed measurements are 17.5 by 14.5 inches. Provenance: A Sarasota, Florida collector. John C. Traynor combines the 19th century element of atmosphere with the realistic, yet soft rendering of color and light reminiscent of the Dutch Masters to create his own distinctive style. John was born in 1961 and spent his early years growing up in Chester and Mendham, New Jersey. His classical training began at the Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey, and afterward he continued his art education at Paier College of Art in New Haven, Connecticut. As a merit scholar, John studied figure painting with Frank Mason at the Art Students League of New York. He concentrated on his understanding of form while studying drawing with Carroll Jones in Stowe, Vermont and then ventured to Florence for a year where he studied sculpture with Brother Jerome Cox. In his still lifes and landscapes John selectively uses color and value to impart a feeling of distance, and a progression of light. Nature is a primary source of inspiration and Mr. Traynor has made many painting expeditions to Ireland, as well as, trips to Holland, Brussels, Italy, and France. He often paints outdoors on location capturing the grassy meadows of Ireland, enchanting European views, and the quaint New England countryside. John currently resides in southern New Hampshire and enjoys the endless painting opportunities provided by the rural landscape. Mr. Traynor is the recipient of over two hundred awards of merit for his art, including the Grumbacher Gold and Silver Medals, the Copley Society’s Robb Sagendorph Award and the Hudson Valley Art Association’s Frank Dumond Memorial Award for best light and atmospheric effect in a painting. His work is enjoyed in over one thousand private and public collections in the United States and abroad, including the Passaic Country College, the Patterson Historical Museum, the Ironbound Education and Cultural Center, Connecticut Bank and Trust, the Sony Music Corporation and McGraw Hill Publishers. John is a member of the Hudson Valley Art Association, The Salmagundi Club of New York, the National Society of Mural Painters. He has received the artistic distinction of Copley Master from The Copley Society of Boston, the oldest non-profit art association in America. In November 2010, John Traynor was the recipient of the Salmagundi Club’s highest award, The Salmagundi Club Medal of Honor and Merit, for his artistic achievements and contributions to the field of art. This medal is awarded to distinguished citizens in various fields, in the name of the club’s devotion to those endeavors which link one area of culture to another and one human being to another. Previously, John was also honored with other Salmagundi Awards including the N.C. Wyeth Award and the Jane Patterson Award for Excellence.

“Flowers in Classical Urn”
By Edward Chalmers Leavitt
Located in Southampton, NY
Very fine example of the artistry of the master still life painter of his day, Edward Chalmers Leavitt. Signed lower left and dated 1875. Condition is very good. Provenance: Christie’s Auction, New York, December 2, 1992, lot 228. Overall in period replica gold leaf deep cove gallery frame 25.75 by 17.75 inches. Edward C. Leavitt (1842-1904) worked in Providence but is also associated with the Fall River School of still life painting through the influence of, and affinity of his style to, the work of Robert S. Dunning. Leavitt was a student of landscape painter James Morgan Lewin, a founder of Providence’s artistic “group of 1855.” Leavitt’s work is known for its realism, rich coloration, sharp focus and careful finish. His paintings of fruit and flowers incorporate ornate decorative pieces such as silver or bronze ewers, salvers, tankards, or plates on carved and polished tables. Leavitt was a prolific artist, exhibiting frequently at the National Academy of Design, the Boston Art Club, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work inspired other still life painters in Providence, resulting in that city’s own still life tradition, including artists such as John Clinton Spencer, Bryant Chapin...

Roses in Brass Vase, Oil Painting
By Sherri Aldawood
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
This still-life painting depicts white roses arranged in a brass vase, with a pink one at the bottom. The earth-toned palette and thick bravura brushstrokes impart a timeless aura to the piece. Against the brown background, the elements stand out with their soft and endearing details.


About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil...

By David Stewart
Located in Edgartown, MA
A native of North Carolina, the United States, Stewart's first keen sense of art came through drawing classes that he attended as a child.

Stewart received a degree in Art History and Anthropology from the University of Tennessee in 1974. A number of years of study at New York's Art Students League followed, beginning in 1978.
