New to this forum - need help identifying a few things

[mjm579]

Usually I post over on the garage sale forum, since most of my pieces come from garage sales or thrift stores (mostly the later).

Recently I've come across a few pieces that I just couldn't pass up.

I will post them over here in case someone on this forum might know more about these pieces of art.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Be honest, you won't hurt my feelings. I never pay much for my items.

I'm going to need to do this in several posts so that I can get everything uploaded as efficiently as possible.

Wasn't sure what this piece was until now. (old paper miniature). I still don't know what it is worth, but I figured it was a nicer piece if someone spent the money to have it custom framed (and took the time to include/save the business card on the back).

The back of the picture shows the company that did the framing and the business card of where the piece was purchased in 1997. So based on this alone, I had assumed it was a porcelain piece. I mean it says that the piece was bought from a person who works with porcelain. This is until I turned to business card over - "old paper miniature".

LOOK at the detail on this piece. Extraordinary. Not to mention that the paper looks old(fiber pieces throughout. Love!!! Several of the pics below this detail.

ALSO, it looks like another "page" would have been on the opposing side years and years ago. Noticed mostly where the letters appear to be doubled (see the last picture). I can only guess that this piece came from an old book.

It measures 9" x 12". I paid $4 for it.

The measurements are not exact bc my hubby ran off with the tape measure again.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Trust me when I say that you will not hurt my feelings. (in other words, I didn't pay a $HIT load of money on these 5 pieces).

1. Anne Marie signed original watercolor - framed, approximately 30" x 10".
Original watercolor (Anne Marie) - $6

2. Appears to be a photograph that the artist used a texturized wash to paint over the photo. In the range of 24" x 18".
Photograph (signed unknown) - $4

3. Love the painting (hate the frame) (matte works) - signed original oil painting. Approx 20" x 15".
Signed original oil painting (signed unknown) - $4

4. Another embroidery piece (shared another earlier in the day from yesterday). Again, this appears hand made, however this piece is not signed. Prob close to 15" x 15". Embroidery (unsigned) - $3

5. And last, but definitely not least in the larger artwork pieces - Parasol by Louis Icart - SIGNED!! Copyright 1928 by L. Jeart - Paris. (one downfall - minor water damage that in my opinion does not detract from the beauty of the piece).
Parasol by Louis Icart (signed) - $18.75

See last three pictures from above-

1. BARTON (signed in red) oil painting - currently hanging in my living room - frame measures 27.5" x 23.5" (paid $26)

2. L. Lily (signed oil painting - can't find any details on this artist) - who can resist hydrangeas - currently hangs above my headboard - frame measures a whopping 43" x 31" (paid $30) (come on, the frame is worth that!)

3. TAYLOR (75) (signed watercolor) - this piece spoke to me and I paid the most of any buy with this store - currently hangs in my living room - frame measures 31.5" x 27" (other than that 10k gold filigree necklace, and the 10k turn of the century stick pin - stick pin is subject of another post) (paid $34)

Lovely embroidery piece. Signed H. (maybe M.) Bean.

VERY well done in my opinion. It has character! It measures 18" x 14". Since the piece was framed locally, I plan to stop in and chat with the owner when he returns from vacation.

I think it cost about $3-4.
