Francis Harvey Cutting, also known as, Frank was born on a farm near Riceville, Iowa, on October 8, 1872. He moved to California in 1893 and settled in Campbell. After graduation from San Jose State College, he taught school for a short while near Paso Robles but soon opted for an art career. During the 1920s, Cutting had a studio nearby in Pacific Grove, where he studied with William Adam, Arthur Hill Gilbert, Charles Harmon and Frank Pebbles. Cutting came from his birthplace in Iowa with his parents to settle in the Santa Clara valley, when a very young lad, and always has lived and painted in this area. He was a nature lover and the stately redwoods inspired some of his most interesting canvases. Cutting then turned to the portrayal of a fruit orchard in full blossom, a field of poppies or a view of the Pacific enshrouded in mist. He is best known for his landscapes. Cutting always used oils as his primary medium with occasional forays into watercolor. Many of his paintings have been purchased by schools and clubs as well as by individuals for their private collections. In hundreds of homes throughout California, the Cutting paintings are treasured possessions. Among printed reproductions in color of his paintings have been more than 20 for postcards done by California Art and Engraving company, a firm which commissioned Cutting to paint about half of the old California Missions. He was a member of the Santa Cruz Art league for several years and has exhibited work in state-wide exhibitions many times. Cutting’s work has been hung in the Palace of the Legion of Honor, Gump's Art Gallery, Graves Art Gallery, Rabjohn and Morcom, all of San Francisco and in Monterey, Carmel and state and county fairs. In 1927, Cutting built a home with a studio at 125 Harrison Avenue in Campbell and remained there until his death on June 8, 1964. A prolific painter and Impressionist, he used a bright palette to create landscapes of Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Pacific Grove, Columbia River, Crater Lake, the Redwood Highway, Death Valley and the Santa Cruz mountains.
Cutting exhibited at San Jose State College, 1897, 1926; California State Fair, 1923, 1930–32; Stanford University Art Gallery, 1925, 1928, 1933, 1939; Kiwanis Club (Campbell), 1927 (solo); Oakland Art Gallery, 1932, 1934; Santa Cruz Art League, 1934, 1937; Gump's Department Store California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the 1930s; Stanford Art Gallery, 1925, 1928, 1933, 1939 (with Otis Hyde); and California State Fairs.

Amercan Merchant Ship in Philadelphia Harbor
By Thomas Birch
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
Thomas Birch is considered one of the earliest American Marine painters of importance both in his own time and historically, forming the foundation of what would become a great American Maritime movement in the successive years of the 19th century. Born in England, Birch started as a landscape painter but after the War of 1812 he turned to marine subjects, taking inspiration from the best of both English and Dutch maritime traditions but refining these techniques into a very recognizable style all his own. The work featured here is a classic of Birch's later period, when he focused specifically on maritime subjects, mainly the busy waterways of Philadelphia Harbor. Here we see one of those scenes- a series of ships plying their trade, all framed by the city as it sits across the Delaware River, with the tall, white spire of what is either Independence Hall or Christ Church to the left of the main vessel. The details of the city are particularly good in this painting, with the wharf building to the left and the long line of buildings all along the shore. The American Merchant Bark at the center of this painting is rendered in excellent detail, from her house flag and pennant, to her rigging and sails, and down to her deck filled with the activity of crewmembers readying the ship to head out, her gilt billet...

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
