G. Harvey Art Reaches New High Price and Great Demand at Auction

Winter's Gold 24 x 36 by G. Harvery

Land of No Fences 24 x 36 by G. Harvey

New York, New York 40 x 30 by G. Harvey

Manhattan Showers 12 x 9 by G. Harvey  available from J Watson Fine Art

G. Harvey is truly an American treasure and collectors have been showing their appreciation of his beautiful original paintings with fierce bidding at auction recently.

Several (but not all) auction lots have closed with sales prices way over auction estimates. Notably at Jackson Hole Art Auction this September, Winter Gold (Western) sold for almost 170,000 with auction estimates of 60,000-90,000, Land of No Fences (Western) sold for over 140,000 with auction estimates of 70,000-90,000, and in April, the wonderful city scene New York, New York sold for over 281,000 despite auction estimates of 120,000-180,000, setting a new record for a G. Harvey painting at auction (so far).

Though rare, there are still some small G. Harvey original paintings at modest prices that can be acquired in the teens and twenties that we can offer to collectors wanting a one of a kind treasure from this talented artist, and some larger paintings as well.

As with any fine art, there are no guarantees about what will happen with prices in the future, so my advice is always to buy art that you love, rather than just for investment only.

Whatever the prices, G. Harvey's original paintings are beautiful and have wonderful impressionistic technique, and they bring joy to collectors and those who view them. They also bring to the world an appreciation for the simple things and good values that are part of the spirit of America.

You can view G. Harvey originals available from J Watson Fine Art  at the G. Harvey exhibit on our website, and for information or photos of additional originals contact us at 661 476-7558 or e-mail info@jwatsonfineart.com.

Interview with Morgan Weistling and rare original paintings.

Sierra's Hood 20 x 14 Original Oil on Canvas by Morgan Weistling

Morgan Weistling has an exceptional talent. His work is reminiscent of some of the great masters like Renoir, Sorolla and yet he has his own unique signature.

It is no surprise that his original paintings are prized by collectors. His rich technique and ability to capture the essence of the spirit of his subjects and their emotions set him apart.  Morgan has won numerous awards and his originals grace the walls of museums and prestigious private collections.

We are fortunate to have a few rare original paintings available by Master of the American West artist Morgan Weistling. We can also offer collectors his limited editions on canvas.

Despite Morgan's stellar position in the art world, he maintains his down to earth demeanor and his characteristic sense of humor. I interviewed Morgan and can share a behind-the-scene insight into the world of this famous artist with you here.

Celebrating Pino Art on his Birthday, November 8th.

In the Garden, Pino Original Painting

Daydream by Pino Daeni

A Place in My Heart

Tomorrow (November 8th) is the birthday of Pino Daeni, one of my favorite artists, so I wanted to take a minute to celebrate his life and art.

I have talked to many collectors who love his paintings. Pino collectors tend to be quite passionate about his art. His beautiful scenes of mothers and children have brought smiles to countless viewers.

His paintings of sensual women remind us of the beauty of women and renew an appreciation of them in our busy lives.

Pino was a prolific painter. He was inspired to paint and said that the women came to him in his sleep to be painted. The joy and beauty Pino created continues through his art.

For Pino's birthday, we will offer a complementary copy of the hard-cover coffee table book of Pino art (retail $100) with any purchase of Pino artwork. 

You can browse more Pino art at the Pino Daeni exhibit at the J Watson Fine Art website.Contact the gallery at 661 476-7558 or e-mail info@jwatsonfineart.com for more information about Pino originals or limited edition giclees.

Pepper  a  Morgan Weislting Original Painting  20 x 15

Morgan Weistling is one of the top Masters of the American West artists at the Autry Museum. He has won many awards including the Prix de West and the Patron's Choice Award at the Autry.

His paintings of the Old West are beautiful and show great character.

 Morgan's paintings are so popular that the smaller paintings are often sold by "draw" with many collectors submitting their names in hopes of being the one drawn to be able to purchase the painting.

At J Watson Fine Art, we are very good at finding the hard to find, and have the rare Morgan Weislting original painting, Pepper, available for a direct sale without a draw. This beautiful painting would be an excellent addition to any art collection.
