Jim’s sailboat paintings are highly sought after, and rarely come to market. Don’t miss your chance to own what may be one of Jim’s best maritime works.

They say that art is in the eye of the beholder. The owner of this painting of the Plum Island Lighthouse bought it from Jim Mickelson in the 1980s, over a few drinks, while in the Thirsty Whale, although he’s not not sure, it may have been know as Harry’s American Bar at the time… the years and the effect of the night’s refreshments have contributed to the uncertainty. There’s no uncertainty about the painting though. Quintessentially Mickelson, the brushwork, the palette, the subject matter… even the price paid are clear and fondly remembered. Hoping for the appreciation of the years and the resurgence of interest in Jim’s work, our client originally set a price that has simply not inspired much interest. Before returning the work to his collection, or passing it on to his daughter, he’s asked us to publicize its availability one more time, and note that all offers will be considered. Contact us for serious offers by email or by phone at the Connor Summers Gallery.
This painting came to us recently looking for a new home. The oil on canvas is 11 x 14 inches, and nicely framed. It appears to possibly be of Plum Island with some figures on the beach and distant views of the curving coastline and ocean. Interested parties may see the work and/or contact us through the Connor Summers Gallery in Newburyport, MA. (978) 462-9196 <info@connorsummers.com>

We recently came into possession of a painting by Jim Mickelson that appears to be of the Plum Island Lighthouse. The owner told us he bought it from Jim in the early to mid-1980′s. He asked us to help find a buyer, and he’s hoping for a quick sale.
This would be a great way to brighten up your holidays. It is 20 x 24, unframed. It displays Jim’s characteristic brushwork, and is signed in the lower right corner. Contact us for pricing and other questions. info@smartartmarket.com
