Tony Sheets “Molokai Dream” 1995, Signed

About the Item

A pastel over watercolor impressionist ocean landscape titled “Molokai Dream” by American artist John Anthony “Tony” Sheets (b. 1942). Cool pastels, crosshatched and layered in deceptively complex interplay over a watercolor base, depict a sunset-lit beach on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. A transportive scene rendered beautiful and other-worldly by the California-based artist’s skillful use of color. Tony Sheets is the son of renowned artist, architect and teacher Millard Sheets (1907–1989). Tony Sheets was Director of the Fine Arts Building at the Los Angeles County Fair, renamed in honor of his father as the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts at Fairplex. The elder Sheets was Director of Art there from 1931-1956. Signed and dated “Tony Sheets 1995” in lower right. Titled, signed, dated and inscribed in the artist’s hand on reverse. Presented with matte in original wood frame behind plexiglass.

  • Herbert Laurence Davidson “Young Boy on Carousel”, Oil Painting, 1960s
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    A poignant 1960s oil painting on canvas depicting a young boy on a stationary carousel by important mid-century American artist Herbert Laurence Davidson (b. 1930–2018). A characteristically sensitive portrait by the artist, with his subject's red-eyed expression and dejected body language suggesting that there would be no more rides that day. With a well-earned reputation as a skilled American Realist, the short, finely hashed brushstroke technique that Davidson employs to achieve a detailed, luminous effect is all the more impressive upon closer examination. Signed "Herbert Davidson...
