Over the years, between collecting and curating my own personal art collection and acquiring artwork for Oxford Vintage & Trade I have acquired a basic understanding of the elements of art and how various techniques are judged. Regardless of the price, medium, technique or age of a piece, I believe in the adage – Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – thus, in my mind, you, the owner, should enjoy the art in one’s home.
Personally, I seem to gravitate to pieces that invoke memories of places, events, people, books, or dreams. Truth be told there is more art in my house than I have walls to show, and the same can be said of the shop! Which is in part why we have periodic sales on our art collection. We are offering 20% off all art pieces through close of business today, Monday, September 18th.
💙 “Boats at Rest” Mid Century Original Oil Painting signed by artist, measures approximately 27” x 40.5” Originally offered for $2,100 and is now $1,680*
💙 Nautical Abstract, original oil on canvas, signed by artist and stamped on back, “Galerie Romanet Veral, Paris” Measures approximately 12.5” x 10.5” Originally offered as is for $125, now is $100*

Here’s a little break from my typical wildlife and naturescapes:) I took this image of my clcboats Peeler Skiff after returning to the dock just after sunset. The water was glass and the twilight colors were just right. I’ve seen this style image done by British and local maritime photographers so thought I’d give it a try on this 15 footer. #clcboats #easternshoremd #claibornemd #claiborne #skiff #skiffboat #peelerskiff #chesapeakebay #easternbay #crabskiff #talbotcountymd #stmichaels #chesapeakelightcraft #skifflife canonusa #canonr5
