About the Item

This artwork titled "Turn, Turn, Turn" 2002 is an oil on canvas by noted American artist Sharon Kristin Nelson, 1945-2018 It is signed, titled and dated at the right bottom corner by the artist. The canvas size is 24 x 24 inches, framed is 27 x 27 inches. It is in excellent condition. About the artist: Sharon Kristin Nelson (née Harmon; June 25, 1945 – April 27, 2018) was an American naive painter, actress, and author, once married to the actor and musician Ricky Nelson. Daughter of the American football star Tom Harmon and actress/model Elyse Knox, her younger siblings are model-actress Kelly Harmon and actor Mark Harmon. In 1963, at age 17, Harmon married Rick Nelson and joined their family television show; the couple had four children, but their extravagant lifestyle forced Nelson to tour for long periods, placing great pressure on the marriage. A long-fought divorce was finally granted before Rick Nelson's death in an air-crash in 1985. In 1988, she met the director-producer Mark Tinker, who asked her what she wanted to do with her life, she told him, "I want to paint." She made her living as an artist, receiving a career boost when Jacqueline Kennedy purchased one of her paintings, she became a favorite of several Hollywood collectors including Mia Farrow, Tyne Daly and Dwight Yoakam. Her work, which is "widely acclaimed, is in the naive genre, and has been likened to that of Grandma Moses. Her paintings are conceived without perspective and are brightly colored[1] with many figures included] Judy Blundell said, "Any symbolism is straightforward and honest; as an artist she is not concerned with being clever or elusive; she is simply using her talent as a means of true visual documentation. Subjects include When the Kennedys Were in the White House (1964) and The Day He Died (1990), a memorial to her father which is painted on a window frame and depicts a country church and clouds raining. In 1999, her paintings were published in a coffee-table-sized autobiography, Out of My Mind; the paintings document her life story and are supplemented with diary entries and poems.

George Cecil Carter Mid-Century Modern Abstract Figurative Oil Painting, 1950s

Located in Denver, CO

This rare 1950s oil painting by Colorado abstract expressionist George Cecil Carter presents an abstracted figurative portrait of a couple—believed to represent Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz. Rendered with bold brushwork and a dynamic modernist palette, the piece reflects Carter’s distinctive ability to merge abstraction with figuration, capturing both movement and emotional depth. Housed in a custom frame, the painting comes from a private collection in Denver, Colorado. Carter (1908–1993) was a central figure in Colorado’s mid-century modernist movement. A self-taught artist influenced by modernist painter Charles Ragland Bunnell, Carter developed a uniquely expressive style that drew upon his working-class background as a miner and machinist. He exhibited nationally and worked alongside artists including Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...
