Another Mickelson comes to light

This remarkable painting by the late Jim Mickelson has come to our attention. Its owner is seeking serious inquiries from any interested collectors. The painting is an oil on canvas, 16 x 20, unframed.

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.

Congrats to JS of Alameda, CA

A vacationer in Newburyport got a very special souvenier to bring home to California. Browsing in the art galleries a day before the Newburyport ArtWalk, JS and his wife wandered into the Connor Summers Gallery and discovered an exquisite drypoint etching by British maritime artist, William Lionel Wyllie, a nineteenth century master. Not being quite what he expected to find, his comment was, “It’s not local, and it’s not new, but it’s exactly what I was hoping for.”
We wish him many years of enjoying it.

Willian Lionel Wyllie~19th century maritime artist

View of the Thames

In addition to other developing things here at SmartArtMarket, we are proud to be able to present a newly acquired piece by The Royal Academy artist, W.L.Wyllie. Acclaimed in his lifetime as the quintissential British maritime artist, he was a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers as well as the painter to The Royal Victoria Yatch Club. Widely exhibited among Britain’s finest collections, including London’s Tate Gallery, he won the Turner Gold Medal in 1869. The piece shown here is a stone lithograph and is signed in pencil by the artist.

Gifford Beal original @SmartArtMarket

This small painting, “A View of Rockport Harbor” came to us from the late artist’s estate. Although unsigned, it is accompanied by documentation of provenance from the auctioneer and Beal’s granddaughter. It is 5.5×9.5 (image), 9.5×13.5 (framed), oil on board. inquiries via email

Late Nbpt. artist’s work resurfaces

In mid-December the Connor Summers Gallery received 7 paintings by the late Newburyport artist, Jim Mickelson, on consignment from someone who had relocated to another area of the country. Jim was greatly loved and admired here in Newburyport, both for his paintings and for his friendly manner, so the owner of these paintings decided to allow CSG to show the work, and offer it for sale in the gallery.
The response by the local community has been overwhelming; indeed three of the pieces sold within ten days of their arrival. Interested parties should contact the gallery by phone,
978-462-9196; or email info@connorsummers.com

Jim Mickelson paintings

Local Newburyport phenom/artist, Jim Mickelson, who passed away several years ago, will be the featured artist in the new year at the Connor Summers Gallery in Nbpt. Jim’s work has experienced a resurgence of interest and a corresponding increase in value, and the collection at Connor Summers is definately worth viewing by any serious collector of contemporary American art.
