This is a fine watercolor and Gouache painting by Pennsylvania artist Edward Scirrotto.  The subject is Brinton's Mill, In Chester County.  The well known Brandywine scene.  This painting measures 12X18 inches, clearly signed lower left corner.  The frame measures 22X28 inches.  The painting is in fine condition, the frame has a few minor scuffs.  Scirrotto died very young in 1994, we feel this work was done in the early 1980's.  A beautiful study of this well known setting.

Attributed to Paul Sandby. Painting measures 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. 1800's. A vibrant and energetic painting despite the gray palette. Paul Sandby, the brother of Thomas Sandby, was an English engraver and painter. He began his artistic career as a landscape painter and draftsman for the Scottish military. As a printmaker, Sandby popularized the use of aquatint, and was considered to be the father of British watercolors. In 1768 the brothers were both among the twenty-eight of the original members of the Royal Academy.

This is an original watercolor and gouache painting, artist unknown, most likely American circa 1930.  The image of what appears to be a writer or Poet giving a talk in a park setting.  The image measures 8 1/4X5 1/4 inches.  Nicely framed with archival materials.  This work, done on a blue toned paper is in very nice condition, clean and bright.

This is the third watercolor and gouache painting that we recently acquired.  All park scenes, all painted on a blue toned paper, nicely framed with archival materials.  We are unsure who this artist was, most likely one of the mid 1930's American Illustrators.  The image measures 8 1/4X5 1/4 inches. Unexamined out of the frame.  Probably a view in Central Park N.Y.
