Helga Ohannesian Animal Paintings
American, b. 1947
At an early age, I knew my calling was that of an artist. In school, my teachers would call me “Helga the dreamer”; I would rather look at the interplay of light and shadow under the trees than play with the other children during recess. Interior design attracted me, but post-war Germany would not allow females into a then male-dominated field, leaving me to become a dental assistant. In 1962 I immigrated to the United States and settled in California. Immediately I started to attend art workshops and classes. Over the years, I have studied with many artists, including Ralph Hasenbein, Ruth Basler-Burr and Margot Lennartz.
My home & garden became my “artistic expressions”. In my minds-eye, I was “seeing” and painting – shades of different colors in a field, greens in a park, reflections on water, the flow of a steam or the vastness of the sky.
When the time was right the easel was set up again and my career as a painter took off. My subject: nature; its serenity, beauty, spirituality and mysticism. My style: a cross between realism and impressionism. My medium: oil paint. I have exhibited my work in numerous shows.
I do not paint to make statements about societal ills or my most inner feelings about life. I paint the beauty I see around me and hope each work speaks to the viewer without the need for a lesson-plan or manual, and make the viewer smile.to

Night Crossing - Model Pirate Ship and Constellations, Oil on Panel
By John Hrehov
Located in Chicago, IL
A model pirate ship dominates the geometric backdrop of this perplexing painting titled, "Night Crossing." Constellations painted on the tiled surface suggest the ship is headed on a journey to be guided by star-filled sky above. Notions of voyage and conquest come to mind, but the boat is moored to its wooden base, dashing any hopes for adventure. The painting is framed in a simple walnut stained wooden frame measuring 25.25 x 21.25 inches.

English 19th century English Farm with shire Clydesdale horses in a landscape
By John Frederick Herring Sr.
Located in Woodbury, CT
English School
Farmyard Scene with Horses and Goat
Oil on panel, unsigned
The Circle of John Frederick Herring Sr.
Circa 1880
Presented in a later gilt and painted frame
This finely rendered 19th-century English farmyard scene captures the quiet dignity of rural life, with a group of three horses—white, chestnut, and black—gathered beneath a tree in the warm light of late afternoon. A small goat stands to one side near a rustic stable, adding a note of charming domesticity to the composition. The surrounding landscape, with its distant hills and careful play of shadow and cloud, speaks to the artist’s sensitivity to atmosphere and detail.
Though unsigned, the painting is executed in a manner closely aligned with the work of John Frederick Herring Senior, one of Britain’s most celebrated animal painters of the Victorian era. The careful modelling of the horses, their distinctive postures and anatomy, and the tranquil farm setting are all hallmarks of Herring’s influence. Painted in oils on a wooden panel, the surface retains a fine, even gloss and a warm palette typical of the period.
The composition is both balanced and lyrical: the interplay of form and gesture among the animals invites the viewer into a moment of repose between work and activity, emblematic of Victorian ideals of harmony between man, beast, and the land.
A delightful example of 19th-century English rural painting...
