Modern Oil
Paintings
I have been buying modern oil paintings for a show in my
gallery. I have found many nice pieces. I found a
painting called Village in winter in a private collection in
Illinois. The artist was Fern Isabel Coppedge and she was
an American. I liked the piece because of the snowy
scene. It reminded me of my childhood.
While on a buying trip, I found Clouds Over
Buckingham. This was a really nice modern oil painting
that was in a private collection in Pennsylvania. I have
seen work by this artist before and it always resells very
well.
Buying modern oil paintings has taken me to various places
across the United States. I especially liked Main Line,
Pennsylvania. That is where I acquired Leaning
Silo. The artist of Leaning Silo was Arthur
Meltzer. I had been previously unfamiliar with him.
I enjoyed my trip to Long Island City. I was buying
modern oil paintings and found one from a French artist named
Georges Antoine Rochegrosse that I really liked. This
painting was painted around 1900 and it was full of
flowers. I really liked it and think it will do well in
the show.
I find that I can buy modern oil paintings very efficiently
on the internet. I found an art dealer in the United
Kingdom that finds me some very nice items to show.
Recently, he sent me a painting of a nude beauty by British
artist Allan Douglas Davidson.
The modern oil painting depicted a young Bohemian woman
wearing only flowers in her hair. She also has large gold
earrings. She is posed against a dark background which
highlights the perfection of her creamy skin.
The still life I recently acquired was so amazingly real
looking. This was one of the most beautiful modern oil
paintings that I’ve found. The detail was exceptional and
the representation of the blooming rose was breathtaking.
I was so lucky when I found an original Max Ernst modern oil
painting. The title of the piece I found was Arizona
Desert. I really think it will do well in my show and I
didn’t even pay half of what I think it is really worth.
It will make a great addition to someone’s collection.
I found a modern oil painting by the Spanish artist Grifoll
that I liked. I’m not sure how well this painting of a
clown will sell, but I liked it and I think that there is bound
to be someone who just can’t live without it.
I just adore paintings that depict Paris. I don’t even
care about the period or the style. I was able to find a
really nice modern oil painting by Edouard Cortes for my
show. The painting depicts flower vendors and a horse
carriage. I almost feel like I’m in turn of the century
Paris when I look into it for a long time.
There are a lot of modern oil paintings that depict
roses. I plan to have a grouping of several at my
show. I was able to buy a painting by Theresa Bernstein
called Roses that she painted in the 1940s. She lived to
be 111 years old and that is pretty amazing.
A popular theme among modern oil paintings is
nautical. I really do not like nautical paintings and
don’t want them in my show. I have had several friends
implore me to change my mind. I keep being told that I
can’t possibly have a show of modern oil paintings that does
not include a ship.
I had an assistant bring in a modern oil painting that had
an interesting history. It was more because of the
history of the painting that I decided to hang it than because
of its content. The ship scene was really not to my
liking, but I bought it anyway.
I have been looking for an antique street scene painted by
Bettylane Resnik. I saw a modern oil painting by her in
an art catalog that depicted a really colorful street
scene. I can’t seem to find the current owner, but I’m
trying. I think that it would complete my show.
