Another Mickelson comes to light

We got a call for a collector in Rhode Island who had a painting similar to some he had seen on our website. It was a painting of a vase of flowers. He was fairly certain it was by Jim Mickelson. Last Friday he dropped it off for us to evaluate. It is unmistakably Jim’s work. It would appear to be from his Rockport days, although there is no date or other clue on the canvas or stretcher frame. It is in excellent condition.

New collectors discover Mickelson’s work

This painting sold pretty quickly once it came into our gallery in February.

The buyers are new to the area, but lifelong art collectors, and excited about discovering some of the local talent. Another piece we have in our collection is under consideration.

Recently, in our gallery

Two paintings by Jim Mickelson were recently brought into our gallery. Both date to the early 1980s and were painted by Jim while he was living in Newburyport, MA. The sailboat painting is very clean, but does show some minor craquelure. The beach scene could probably benefit from a very light cleaning. Both are excellent examples of his work and may be seen in our gallery.

Mickelson featured at season’s final ArtWalk

We’ve had the opportunity to bring some of Jim Mickelson’s paintings in on a consignment basis before, but this might be the most exciting work we’ve been given access to. Several people have expressed an interest in them already. They have been in a private collection for almost 30 years. We’re happy to be able to share them with the public for this coming weekend’s ArtWalk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pieces are all good sized; but we will also have a selection of several of Jim’s smaller paintings on display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition, we will be showing work by Marie Laurencin, Jon Kodwyck, Michael Updike and our own Cathy Connor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mark your calendars. This event should not be missed.
