You are here:
American Fine Art Paintings.
Oils, Watercolors, Sketches. Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. Hudson River School, Pennsylvania Academy, Cape Ann artists, Ash Can, Woodstock, Florida Indian River, American Impressionists, etc. I can provide some background about artists and perhaps a rough appraisal or guidance towards obtaining a value. I am acquainted with many of the best American art dealers and auction houses. Original works only, I do not follow the print market. I do NOT field questions about prints.
Important to know
I am not expert in European art. I encourage you to send questions on European artists to other experts on this service. NO PRINTS:I encourage you to seek help on prints elsewhere. Two sites come to mind: www.artoftheprint.com and www.philaprintshop.com
I have been collecting original American Fine Art for over 20 years. I have curated art shows, and I have served as a dealer, providing appraisals and guidance for the last 8 years.
Bachelor of Arts Master of Business Administration
I have a keen interest in the Hudson River School painters, particularly those artists who spent time at Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains. Among them: David Johnson, William Hart, John Bunyan Bristol, Richard William Hubbard, Nelson Augustus Moore and others.
Fine Art may seem intimidating...but it is not! Most art dealers are highly approachable and they regard no question as inappropriate.

Tarek, Alas, the only picture that I see is the backside (verso) of the picture, with a very small tag at the top that is too small for me to read. It appears you may have a picture on board, not canvas?
Susi, I will include William N. Bartholomew's bio below, although I am sure you have it from Edan Hugh's fine work "Artists in California" available on the internet. Thomaston Place Auction Galleries
