Founding Fathers: The Declaration CommitteeNo single document captures the American spirit better than the Declaration of Independence. John Buxton invites you to witness history as writer Thomas Jefferson reviews his first draft with the committee of Franklin, Adams, Sherman and Livingston, and they share with him their immediate reaction. They are shown here in Jefferson’s rented room in the Graff House (located at Seventh and Market in Philadelphia), where his guiding vision was instrumental in developing the cornerstone of our government. Standing (left to right) are Robert Livingston (NY), Roger Sherman (CT), Thomas Jefferson (VA), and John Adams (MA), with Benjamin Franklin (PA) seated at the table. (See options...) |

Poofy Guy On A Short LeashIn the fantastic world of James Christensen, a “poofy guy” is recognizable by the inordinate layers of clothing he wears, symbolizing a touch of self-importance as well as the accumulated baggage of a lifetime.This light and airy piece just may suggest marriage, as James asks us to consider the luck we “poofy guys” have in being cared for by a responsible woman.“Thank heavens guys like us have some one holding onto us, otherwise, we’d just spin off into the atmosphere and pop!” (See options...) |

Streets Of New Orleans"Life has many levels and this painting shows many of them," says artist Steve Hanks. "At the bottom are the people making a living on the street. The next level is the sidewalk, where the couples safely walk the perimeter and share their lives together. The only people on the balcony are an elderly couple who have made it through their life together and are observing everyone else. They have made it to the highest level and I view them with envy and pride. "I was attracted to the wrought iron, the architecture and the overall romance of the city. New Orleans has a character that takes time to absorb." Like the characters who populate it, this lively tribute to one of America's most storied cities will take a lifetime to fully discover and enjoy. (See options...) |

The First Dance, 1884 AmericanaThere has never been a better time to purchase a Morgan Weistling Fine Art Limited Edition. As we write this, five of Weistling's limited editions have sold out and several more are in Low Inventory, and the market for his originals is just as hot. For the second year in a row, Weistling took both the Artists' and Patrons' Choice Awards at the 2008 Masters of the American West Exhibition and Sale, and his original painting sold for $286,100—nearly three times the reserve price. The painting? The First Dance, 1884 Americana. The idea for the painting, begun as a sketchbook drawing years ago, had taken years to come to fruition. In addition to finding the perfect models, costumes and composition, Morgan did not want to begin on the painting until he could give it his full concentration. Finally, one day last year, he began to create what John Geraghty described in Western Art Collector as "his signature work, an absolute master work." Why paint a wedding? "I wanted to celebrate the institution of marriage," says Weistling. "I have been married to my lovely wife JoAnn for 17 years. I thought of the commitment we made in front of family and friends and what a wonderful feeling it would be to do a painting about that." A celebration this joyous demands a large-scale format. The First Dance, 1884 Americana will light up a room as a Greenwich Workshop Masterwork™ Giclée Canvas. (See options...) |

To Never Ending Love"In this painting, the two individual trees intertwine to become something bigger, stronger and more beautiful. The marriage of those trees will yield fruit that will not only nourish them, but others as well. There are honey bees buzzing over the bride’s bouquet, enjoying the nectar of the flowers and ready to pollinate the tree above. I am grateful for love that has grown into something more wonderful than anything I could have imagined." Life is an ongoing series of miracles. Everyone has something to be thankful for or someone they should be saying “Thank You” to. Prayers, large and small, are answered daily, often without our recognition. Ex voto is Spanish for votive offering. Ex votos are paintings offered to a deity or saint as a thank you for an answered prayer, or, as a form of prayer. Traditionally, the ex voto is signed by the petitioner, dated and explains why the giver is giving thanks. In many cases, they tell a very touching personal story. The personal nature of these stories is what makes them so fascinating. “These little artworks are painted out of gratitude for the miracles, protection and prayers answered not only in my life, but in what is common to so many of us,” says Cassandra Barney. “In conceiving these paintings, it didn’t seem that I was illustrating ideas, but sharing and exchanging them.” Each ex voto celebrates the exceptional nature of the common and the uncommon: friendship, love, life, family and self. This collection was inspired by look of the Mexican tin-paneled works and designed to be hung in groupings. As gifts, they are the perfect message at the perfect time. Life is full of blessings and Cassandra Barney’s Ex Votos give us the opportunity to share our recognition of gratitude with beauty and grace (See options...) |
