Two watercolors by early twentieth century California master Percy Gray (1869 - 1952). The top one, showing Mount Tamalpais, was done in 1918, and other one of eucalyptus in the fog is dated 1922. Each one is about 16" x 20". Framed close in #308.2 ("Michigan") - 2-5/8" in stained quartersawn white oak with gilt oak ogee slips. The quiet scoop profile provides the right amount of perspective and grace, and the fine reeding gives definition to the setting and is in keeping with the fine line work of the paintings. The ogee profile of the gilt slips celebrates the gentle curves of the tree forms and soft, gradated light. Learn more about Percy Gray. Below: Percy Grey, "Eucalyptus In The Fog." |
