Lester Boronda - "Adobe Interior" - Monterey - Oil on canvas - 36" x 30" - Signed and monogramed lower right <br> <br>Exhibited: National Academy of Design, NY; Art Institute of Chicago; Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art; <br>prestigious Braus Gallery in New York in 1914 with a successful one-man exhibit of his Spanish California paintings. <br> <br>Illustrated in Art in California, 1916, Plate No. 78. (This book was written as a tribute to the successful artists of the day illustrating artworks which were exhibited at the P.P.I.E./1915; however, deciding to also include "Adobe Interior" by Boronda, a significant tribute paid to him by fellow artists who were exhibitors). <br> <br>Although born in Reno, NV on July 24, 1886, Boronda was a member of an early California family (his great-grandfather was a member of the second Junipero Serra expedition into Alta California in 1770). He was raised on a Salinas cattle ranch where today the family home is a state historical landmark. <br> <br>His art studies began in San Francisco at the Mark Hopkins Institute under Arthur Mathews and continued at the ASL in NYC under Frank Vincent DuMond. The finishing touches to his art training were under Jean Paul Laurens in Paris and in Munich. <br> <br>Leaving California in 1913, he moved to New York where he established an important craftsman center which specialized in wrought iron. His painting specialty in California had been genre of old Monterey and, after moving to the East, he painted street scenes of New York. Boronda often spent summers in Mystic, CT before his death in New Canaan on Sept. 19, 1953. <br> <br> Member: Carmel Art Association; Mystic Art Association <br> Exhibited: Del Monte Art Gallery (Monterey), 1910; NAD; AIC; Carnegie Institute, 1912; CGA, 1914-1923; PAFA, 1924. <br> In: Monterey Peninsula Museum of Art; Salinas City Council; Nevada Museum (Reno); California Historical Society; PAFA; Rochester (NY) Mechanics Institute.

Armin C. Hansen, N.A. - "Pine Trees" - Monterey - Conte Crayon on paper - 19 1/2" x 19 1/2" - Signed lower right <br> <br>"Before Hansen, when artists painted Monterey scenes with workers, they most often depicted them in connection with the historic Carmel Mission or quietly performing agricultural chores in peaceful harmony with the land, evincing the lingering influence of the French Barbizon style that Tavernier introduced in the mid-1870s. Such paintings were popular because they were soothing and restful, offering an oasis of tranquility and escape. These evolved into pure landscapes focusing on the beautiful coast, with attention accorded to the wind-sculpted Monterey cypress trees clinging to rocky shores. <br> <br>Hansen, who saw himself as part of a new generation, painted pure landscapes infrequently and believed the indigenous and emblematic cypress to be overused. When he did depict the cypress or pine, he tended to organize the trees into abstractly patterned groups rather than depict them as single, arboreal curiosities, which by then had become ubiquitous on postcards and paintings made for tourists.” <br> <br>Source: Armin Hansen: The Artful Voyage/2015, Scott A.

McGlynn (1878-1966) <br>Craftsman, Designer, Teacher, Painter, "a lifetime dedicated to artistic passions…" <br> <br>Selected paintings by early California artist Thomas A. McGlynn <br>Copyright 2005 by Trotter Galleries <br> <br> <br>"The Cove" had been given to the artist’s son and was never signed by the artist, as it was a gift in the family and never meant to be sold. <br>Tom McGlynn the third signed a letter of authorization for an estate signature stamp to be applied to the front of the painting, and copied directly from another signed McGlynn painting, as most collectors prefer seeing an artist signature. This is a common practice for situations like this when authorization is given by the family. Many major artworks have authorized estate signatures, including artwork by Franz Bischoff, Edgar Payne, Alson Clark, etc. what rarely seen is a painting having a signed letter by the authorized family member, and for a specific painting like we have for "The Cove".

Exhibition dates: February 7 - March 29, 1987. <br> <br>By the late 1880s, while still in his twenties, Peters was exhibiting widely both in the States and abroad, and was winning acclaim and praise along with many silver and bronze medals. After marrying Kathleen Murphy in 1891, they left for Europe for several years, returning to Monterey in 1900. Upon his return to California, he settled in Monterey where he built a 30-acre estate called "Peters Gate." His home was a haven for other artists and he entertained lavishly until the money ran out. Following tragic losses of both his wife and small daughter, Peters remarried in 1909. The Monterey house was sold and the family went to Europe for two years.

Sydney Yard - "Marshland near Monterey" - Watercolor - 10" x 14 1/2" - Signed lower right <br> <br>“A painter of California, one of the very few native-born, we have in Sydney Yard, who, from an early meticulous manner, developed a broader and decorative delineation of the northern California landscape. His medium was watercolor, and his sincerely studied and finely patterned small canvases are distributed through many California homes. His work is charming without being weak.” (The History & Ideals of American Art by Eugen Neuhaus, 1931). <br> <br>A pioneer Carmel artist, Sydney Yard established one of the first studios on Lincoln and Seventh Streets. <br> <br>Born 1855 in Rockford, Illinois, Yard began his art studies under George J. Robertson. He later studied in the British Isles where he mastered English watercolor techniques under the instruction of Royal Academician Sutton Palmer. <br> <br>In 1882, after achieving some recognition in New York, Yard moved to California. For the first three years he ran several photography studios in San Jose and Palo Alto with artist friend Andrew Putnam Hill. During this time, he exhibited several paintings at the San Francisco Art Association. <br> <br>Yard settled permanently in Carmel in 1906. He exhibited frequently at The Del Monte Gallery as well as at several galleries in the San Francisco Bay Area until his death in 1909. Best known for his watercolors, his works are primarily landscapes and coastal scenes of the Monterey Peninsula.
