I'M PLEASED TO OFFER THIS VERY NICE ORIGINAL PAINTING OF LISTED ARTIST RUSSELL E. WHITE. IT IS A STUNNING DISPLAY OF PAINTING OF THE CALIFORNIA PALM SPRINGS AREA OF SMOKE TREES AND BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS AND SKY IN BACKGROUND. THIS ARTIST IS VERY WELL KNOWN FOR THIS STYLE PAINTING AS MANY OF HIS WORKS SELL FOR 1000'S OF DOLLARS. HE IS AN EXPERT AT CATCHING THE SHADOWS AND LIGHTING ON THE GREAT SCENES OF THE DESERT. HE ALSO STUDIED LISTED ARTIST JOHN HILTON WHO HE WAS ALSO VERY WELL KNOWN FOR THIS STYLE. HE ACTUALLY WAS IN MANY RESPECTS AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER AT CAPTURING THE BRILLIANCE OF THE DESERT. RUSSELL E WHITE WAS BORN IN 1921 AND DIED IN 1988. I CAN STATE ORIGINAL AS I HAVE OWNED THIS FOR A FEW YEARS AND FOUND THE EX GIRLFRIEND OF RUSSELL WITH HER WEBSITE OF HIS BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS AND I CONTACTED HER AND SENT HER PHOTOS OF THIS ONE AND SHE SAID IT WAS ONE OF HIS WORKS. SHE EVEN HAS IT POSTED ON THE SITE AND HERE IS THE ADDRESS IF YOU NEED TO VERIFY http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2460924100044169362ivcwuA. IT IS THE #48 ON CARVERGALS WEBSHOTS. THE PAINTING IS OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS AND FRAMED IN A VERY NICE MEXICAN DRIFTWOOD THAT IS WHITEWASHED. THE PAINTING ITSELF IS 18" X 24" AND FRAMED IS 26" X 32". IN DOING OTHER RESEARCH THERE IS A SMALLER ONE OF HIS PAINTINGS BE SOLD AT PIERSON GALLERY IN OKLAHOMA FOR 4000.00. THE PAINTING ITSELF IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND JUST NEEDS GOOD PROFESSIONAL CLEANING. HE IS LISTED IN ASKART AND THERE IS NOT A TON OF INFO AS HE DID NOT MASS PRODUCE HIS WORKS. THIS GREAT PIECE WILL START AT 999.99 WITH NO RESERVE AND IF YOU WANT TO DO BUY IT NOW MUST MAKE OFFER BEFORE SOMEONE BIDS ALTHOUGH THIS BEAUTY IS A KEEPER FOR SURE.
