I've been purchasing modern oil paintings for a show in my studio. I found a painting called Hamlet in winter in a personal collection in Illinois. The artist was Fern Isabel Coppedge and she was an American. This was a very pleasant modern oil painting that was in a personal collection in Pennsylvania. I've seen work by this artist before and it mostly resells very well.
Purchasing modern oil paintings has taken me to numerous places across the U.S. A painting I purchased by a French artist named Georges Antoine Rochegrosse, was painted around 1900 and it was full of flowers. I liked it and think it'll perform nicely in the show.
I find that I'm able to buy modern oil paintings extremely efficiently on the web. I found a skill dealer in the UK that finds me some extremely nice items to show. Latterly, he sent me a picture of an undressed beauty by British artist Allan Douglas Davidson. The modern oil painting showed a young Bohemian girl wearing only flowers in her hair. She's posed against a dark background which illuminates the perfection of her creamy skin. The still life I recently purchased was so amazingly real looking. This was one of the most lovely modern oil paintings that I have found. The detail was outstanding and the illustration of the blooming rose was breathtaking.
I was so fortunate when I found an original Max Ernst modern oil painting. I think it'll perform nicely in my show and I did not even pay 1/2 what I suspect it is truly worth. I was capable of finding a very pleasant modern oil painting by Edouard Cortes for my show. I sort of feel a bit like I am in turn of the century Paris when I look into it for some considerable time. I plan to have a grouping of a few at my show. I was in a position to get a painting by Theresa Bernstein called Roses that she painted in the 1940s. She lived to be 111 years of age and that's pretty superb.
I actually hate nautical paintings and don't need them in my show. I've had a few friends implore me to reconsider my opinion. I keep being told that I can not have a show of modern oil paintings that doesn't include a ship.
I had a helper bring in a modern oil painting that had a fascinating history. It was more thanks to the history of the painting that I made up my mind to hang it than due to its content. So I found ship scene which was truly not to my liking, but I purchased it anyhow.
I've been hunting for an antique street scene painted by Bettylane Resnik. I saw a modern oil painting by her in a skill catalogue that pictured a colourful street scene. I cannot seem to find the existing owner, but I am trying.
