It was another great day yesterday. There were comm sales everywhere. I was able to go to three. I spent most of the morning at one, since the comm is very large, and the type of homes there are my favorite, 30 years or older. I heard many sellers complain of the low turnout. I did not see a single regular picker there, and the people that were there, were looking for personal items. I was able to buy two 14k bracelets, and two 14k necklaces, a vintage Mickey watch (Swiss made), a Gucci watch, and a display case full of fishing lures.
First artist is Homer Costello dated 1957, this is the abstract one with the people crossing the street. Second artist is Louis Belky, this is the one with the seascape. The third artist is R.F. Bustillo (Mexican), this one is my favorite. It is set during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It is of peasants taking arms against the government that was trying to take their land to give to the wealthy land owners. The fourth is a head scratcher. It is to my trained eye (with the help of my loupe), a watercolor, an original watercolor. The challenge that I have with this one is that it is copyrighted, and it also references the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. That does not make any sense, unless it's a commissioned reproduction from the museum. If anybody can help me with that one I would really appreciate it.
I was spent after this comm, but still managed to go to a few more. Had a great time picking practically with no competition. :-) Thanks to all as always for your comments. I appreciate them.
Note: The pics of just the writing are of the painting in question. This is the fishing scene.
