Migrants
By Willard Dixon
Located in Burlingame, CA
'Migrants' by Willard Dixon. These paintings are generally taken from small black and white newspaper photos from Willard Dixon’s daily reading of the news. He changes the images somewhat by cropping them, taking things out, adding color, etc. But the image is definitely something seen originally by someone else. “I must say”, says Dixon, “I have rather strong feelings about these images myself. I see them at least in part as an homage to the intrepid photographers on the front lines who are telling truth to the world about what’s actually going on out there.”

Mother and Child
Located in San Francisco, CA
This modern mid-century composition of mother and child is by Fernando Oramas (1925-2016.) It is an interesting composition, with the mother in side profile and her child staring ahead at the viewer. The painting is composed of oil on canvas and measures 18” x 14” (24” x 20” framed). It is signed in the lower right. On the reverse is Oramas’ name and address in Mexico. Oramas lived in Mexico in the 1950s and 1960s and this painting appears to date from that time, based on the style and the frame. The painting is in very good condition. The distressed wood frame goes very well with the painting. It is in fair to good condition, with some light scuffs on the edges that allow the wood color to show through the grey stain of the frame as well as a very small bit of separation between the pieces of the frame. Please look at the signature photo for a good image of a section of the frame.
Oramas had a major exhibition of his work in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2016. Oramas studied at the School of Fine Arts of the National University, located in the old convent of Santa Clara, in the Center of Bogotá, where he met teachers, trained in renowned academies in Europe. Ignacio Gómez...

One in the Hand
By Myron Stephens
Located in Burlingame, CA
In this cinema noir series of original oil and acrylic painting on wood panels, Myron Stephens realistically recreates images of people and often mundane objects that are masterfully painted using a "tricks the eye" technique. The artist uses small brushes with oil and acrylic paint to create the witty, charming and unique works of art via his optical illusion way of painting. As with Stephen's other series' including urban scenes and "chalk board" paintings that draw from mid century ideas and film—Stephen's signature humor and unique perspective span the lot. This is a traditionally painted work of art with the "look" of chalk on board, but it is created entirely of oil paint and acrylic paint on panel. A delightful and highly collectable work of original art.
