Artist G. Harvey--A Great Legacy

 

 G. Harvey 1933-2017

Artist G. Harvey was a true American Treasure. He has blessed so many with his wonderful paintings of Western cowboy and Native American Scenes and his American turn of the century street scenes.

Many of his paintings were used to raise funds for Focus on the Family, a cause that was dear to his heart, through auctions of original paintings and sales of limited edition prints, and those gifts will continue to create positive effects into the future.

Collectors and art admirers have enjoyed his work for many years, and his paintings will continue to bring joy and inspiration to countless people all over the world. G. Harvey artwork can be found in the collections of museums, corporations and private collectors, and select artwork is available through galleries.

His appreciation of the simple times and the accomplishments of those who built America comes through in his work.

Patriotism is a strong theme in paintings such as A Nation Blessed, Dreams of a Nation and An Evening with the President.

The rugged life of the American Cowboy is shown in his paintings like Men of the Great Northwest and Trailing the Canyon Light.

And his abiding faith was portrayed in his iconic Light Unto the World featuring the large Christmas tree outside the White House in Washington DC, among other paintings..

We are so thankful for the life and contributions of G. Harvey and the wonderful legacy he left for us.

J Watson Fine Art carries a selection of rare G.Harvey original paintings as well as many of his sold out at the publisher limited edition prints. You can contact the gallery at 661 476-7558 or e-mail info@jwatsonfineart.com or visit the website at www.jwatsonfineart.com for more information.

Masters of the American West Highlights


Longing for Home by Kyle Polzin
Family Traditions by Morgan Weistling
Capturing the Captain's Coat by Howard Terpning

As supporters of the Autry, we wanted to share some of the highlights of the Masters of the American West show this year.

This was the first year that selected works were offered in an open live bid format, rather than silent bid.  There were paintings in the live bid auction by Howard Terpning,  ZS Liang,, Mian Situ, and Kyle Polzin.

The rest of the available paintings in the show were sold by ballot box draw as usual.

Howard Terpning was close to 2 Million with the sale of his painting Capturing the Chief's Coat 40 x 50 which sold for 1.9 Million to the highest bidder. Limited Edition giclee canvases of the piece were produced by his publisher The Greenwich Workshop, and have already sold out at the publisher. Contact us if you are interested in adding one of Howard Terpning's original paintings or sold-out at publisher limited editions to your art collection.

We are also fortunate to have some of Howard's double signed Artist Proofs direct from the family vault that we can offer our collectors.

Morgan Weistling won the Purchase Award for his wonderful painting Family Traditions, which is now part of the Autry permanent collection.  We are very happy for Morgan's well deserved win, although it would hae been nice to be able to buy the painting for one of our collectors : )

Kyle Polzin exceeded expectations yet again with his painting Longing for Home 17 x 36 which sold for 60.000.

Overall it was a good night for Western art.
