Hello, Hello.
May 12-
I just got out of the pool where I swim with the Masters Program. When I get in the water feels cool (these days anyway), but within minutes it seems warm. I think that is what this week will be like. later in the week I am off to england and then France. I will post next week's art from 'over there.' This week we have little birds that appeared outside sherie Drake's window early this spring before the trees had emerged from dormancy. Thank goodness for colorful little birds who remind us spring is on its way! Next week's art will be other harbingers of spring, one a painting by Leslie Hurst. And the following week the art will make the transistion to summer.

These two paintings may be purchased as a set or separately. the larger is 8" x 8" and is titled, "Early Birds." It is $250. It is a wrapped around the framing and hangs as you see it as does the second painting titled,"Snow Bird" 5 x 5 and $125. The set sells for $350. These are new, oil on canvas and signed.
You can call 209-533-1384 to purchase. Have a great week as we start easing into summer. Next Monday I will be emailing from the Isle of Jersey.

Hello, hopefully you are checking in for the new art on Mondays.
This week's presentation is Surendorf "Old Fire House, Columbia." It is a first edition framed in the original framing and in perfect condition! The price is $350. See photos below.

Also new to the gallery this week is "Sunday on the Waterfront." This is not framed. It is number 31/100 and was purchased directly from Surendorf during a San Francisco Art Festival many, many years ago.. The price is $350.

April 28th and this must be the most beautiful day of the year. I am sitting at home admiring our lawn and gardens (we now have a full-time gardener - me!- and things have never looked so good.)

Each Monday I will post a some new art on this page. Check it regularly for great art and good buys.
This painting is gorgeous, a classic oak tree. It is simple and elegant. The painting is shown off in the best possible way with this stunning gold frame by Glaser frames. I bought the painting from Stan Robbins because it caught my eye; the painting is small 4" x 6", it is oil on paper and signed only on the mat board. Brad Brooks installed it in this wonderful frame adding an inner mat to highlight the art. For a simple painting we have combined forces to create a small treasure.
I debated asking more because the frame was so expensive, but I also wanted to keep the price at under $250 sooooooo...... the price for this is $245.

I guess art gets into your blood. As I consider my options art has a part in every consideration.
In the meantime, I do plan to put together an offering of the best I can find for each week here on this home page.
To start off is an artist I know and one of the nicest little paintings he has ever done.
Heinie Hartwig "Summer Moon" image size 6 x 12, framed size 12 x 18, $600
This painting is new as is the beautiful gold frame. I f you do not care for the frame you may subtract $50 from the price.

Vault Art is a gallery making a transistion....to what is not entirely clear yet except that buying and selling fine art continues.
For now this page will serves as news and commentary of the transistion.
I will be posting one or two new items for sale each week.
I am continuing to sell Heinie Hartwigs oil paintings and to trade in the works of Charles Surendorf. I remain interested in assisting others in the disposition of the art and welcome calls by people looking to sell their art as well those looking to buy art.
