Thomas A. McGlynn - "Coastal Farm House near Carmel" - Pastel - 6" x 8" - Signed lower right <br>Directly from the estate of Thomas A. McGlynn <br> <br>Thomas A. McGlynn (1878-1966), whose artistic roots were in California tonalism under his mentor and former teacher Arthur Mathews, would later develop his own style of artistic expression. <br> <br>McGlynn’s initial training was at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute- California School of Design in San Francisco, graduating in the same class as his close friend, Armin Hansen. They received their diplomas months after the 1906 earthquake/fire had leveled most of the old school building itself. <br> <br>Prior to permanently moving to the Monterey Peninsula in 1945, McGlynn was a distinguished educator in San Francisco and at the University of California at Berkeley. For eleven years he was Chief Assistant to Arthur Mathews at the Furniture Shop. <br> <br>Thomas McGlynn was an early member of the Carmel Art Association, serving twice as President as well as serving on the Board and becoming a lifetime member. <br> <br>His work has been shown in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles and other art centers of the country and his entries have been awarded numerous special honors. <br> <br>His paintings are among the most lyrical of the school of California Luminists. Almost completely a landscapist, his paintings convey the poetry, the sense of majesty and tranquility which he sensed in nature.

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".
