Recent artwork finds!

Just realized that my hubby is an art fan...who knew! These were great finds at decent prices!

This is a large oil on canvas from the mid 20th Century. We can't make out the signature on this one.

Watercolor on paper painted by Harry Hutchinson Shaw (1897-1989) in 1941.

"Shipwreck on Beach" watercolor on board by William Frederick Paskell (1866-1951), circa 1915. 

Notice a theme here! I'm an east coast baby...I love the ocean, ships and small fishing boats.

These pictures will eventually hang on the wall in the foyer leading you upstairs. Some of the picture frames need to be restored but we will definitely keep the natural aged patina.

Unsigned watercolor on board of the USS Constitution. Dated 1927.

Unsigned watercolor on paper of shipwreck in the surf. Circa 1920s.
These two pictures that are featured above we found in the house when we moved in. The top picture was hanging on the wall on the third floor next to an open window. Sadly this picture was damaged due to all of the moisture that came in contact with it. The second picture my husband found on the third floor in a closet. As you can see this one has a glass cover so it's still in good condition.

This picture is a print and not an original painting but it's still nice. 

The next group of pictures are random ones that we found on our journeys.

Small water color on paper of port scene mid 20th century. Artist unknown.

"In Old Madrid" was featured in the San Francisco Call by cartoonist Conrad Messaguer in 1926.
The moment I laid my eyes on this printing I was in love. I still need to find an antique frame for this one but I can settle for a new one instead.

Oil on canvas of New England lighthouse on cliffs. Painted by William Frederick Paskell (1866-1951), circa 1920. Night time sea scape paintings are gorgeous.

This is an oil on board of Loch Tay in Scotland circa 1860s. The castle in the background makes the picture a little more mysterious. We haven't definitely attributed the painting, but have been told it may be an early work by Herbert Menzies Marshall (1841-1913).
