This original painting on watercolor paper measures 15 by 22 inches.
It dates circa 1940-1960 from a regional school of watercolor painting found in, but not limited to California. It is in excellent condition and ready to be matted and framed. This is an original watercolor painting and not a giclee or print of any kind. This is one painting from a collection of original California watercolors, originally purchased from a student of the noted California watercolor artist, Robert Landry. The collection had been in storage for about 25 years. The collection included a number of signed originals by Robert Landry and additional, signed works by the student. There were also a number of unsigned works that can be attributed stylistically to either Robert Landry or his student. Check our other listings for additional offerings of similar signed and unsigned period watercolor paintings from this collection. (Note) We will be keeping some of both the signed and unsigned paintings from this collection for ourselves. In a weak economy, with a falling dollar, they are great investments that can be hung on a wall and enjoyed, feeding both one's soul and pocketbook at the same time. Biographical information: Robert Landry (1921-1991)… Born: Washington, D. C. Studied: Abbott Art School, Art Instruction, Inc. Member: San Diego Watercolor Society, Watercolor West. Robert Landry attended high school on the East Coast then went into the military service during World War 11. After the war, he studied art in Washington, D. C. And Minneapolis on the G. I. Bill and became a commercial illustrator for the United States Air Force Graphic Arts Division at the Pentagon, and art director for the Federal Aviation Agency and Convair Astronautics. After the late 1940s, Landry began a serious painting career and started exhibiting fine art watercolors. His paintings often depicted regional subjects with buildings, boats or coastline structures. Creating a mood was important to him and gives his works a narrative quality. His watercolors were primarily sold through art galleries in San Diego and Dallas. He also taught at watercolor workshops near his home in San Diego and in traveling workshops held in Oregon, Arizona and Hawaii. He is listed in numerous artists’ biographical publications. His works have also sold at various auction houses over the years including John Moran Auctions in Pasadena, California. He is also listed on www.askart.com and other art and auction websites.
