Oil Painting
2000? Lion and Mouse. Oil painting on canvas by Yarilis Qung (?). 8" x 10". $10 on Ebay, March, '15?
I have had and admired this lively piece of art for some time -- for so long a time that I am completely unaware of where I received it. The signature on the back of the canvas may be Yarilis Qung. The image wraps around onto each of the sides. And the artifact is put together with great solidity. I apologize, O artist, for not cataloguing this lively piece sooner and more accurately!
2000? Framed FG original painting. Kai. 296/500. 4" square. Gift of Margaret Carlson Lytton from the Libreary of Congress Gift Shop.
Beautiful, delicate work! The image is about 1.5" square. This fox seems quite self-possessed. And those grapes seem so close! Is this the same Kai that is on Etsy and Markowicz these days? I am disappointed that, although there were 500 copies of this work, none of the others show up on the web.
2005? Copy painting of Gustav Klimt's “Fable.” Ross. 27.1” x 22.7”. Unknown source.
I show also an image of Klimt's original. As I mention of our photograph of Klimt's painting, starting from the right, we find here FS; FK; perhaps “Heron”; perhaps “Lion in Love”; and perhaps TMCM. There may well be other fables hidden in the painting. The fox's vase and the two mice not come out as clearly in Ross' more impressionistic handling of the scene. Is the "Ross" here Bob Ross, the well known painter?
2008 Oil painting of CP. Laura Cushing, Fall, 2008. 16” x 26.4”. Gift of the artist.
What a lovely strong and simple statement! Good for you!
2015 “Aesop’s Fables: The man and the serpent.” Oil painting. 9.8” x 12. Richard Hubbard. UK. Unknown source.
This is a deeply imaginative presentation, I presume of the man who brought home a frozen snake. In the background shimmers a post industrial scene. The man gives every appearance of struggling, his hands with vines and his feed with barbed wire that may become supple tree branches. Curious stuff! I found anther work of his online that seems quite similar. It sold for 25 pounds. Are we to believe that we have an original painting of his?
