From My First Love, Did I Awaken, Expressionist Abstract by Master Colorist
Located in Doylestown, PA
"From My First Love, Did I Awaken" is a 56 x 44 inches, original abstract by American master colorist painter Al Lachman. The artwork is a gallery wrapped canvas, signed "Lachman" in the lower left. Life is a tapestry of experiences and emotions. It is a journey we are all on. And while our experiences may vary, it is sure to encompass a full range of human emotions. For me, it started some eighty-five years ago (my Mom said I popped out with a brush in my hand). There were only a few things I could do well, and drawing was one of them. So I set out to become an artist about seventy years ago. It ran the gamut of human experiences and emotions, from eating peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner early in my career, to working all my adult life from nine to nine, seven days a week. I am driven…I paint every day that I am home.. - Al Lachman Born in 1936 in the Bronx, NY, Alan...

Cover of The Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1957 showing ducks in autumn flying south for the winter The Post described, "When Jack Frost whistles down the breezeways, right-minded birds take off toward the balmy Southland. Some human beings are depressed because they haven't wings to do likewise, yet, all told, it's probably nicer to be a man than, say, a mallard duck. This is a migratory flyway in the lakelands of Alberta, favored by birds of that feather which like to swipe their meals from grainfields and rest their weary bones on soft, or even hard, water. Down the Mississippi Valley this sky traffic will v-wint its way, and the smarter ducks that go clear to the Gulf Coast can take a gander at the New Orleans Mardi Gras...

"The Outing Magazine" Last Rose of Summer Original Cover Illustration
By Maxfield Parrish
Located in Fort Washington, PA
The Outing Magazine commissioned Parrish to provide a cover illustration for their 1899 Last Rose of Summer edition (published December 1899). In the poster, Maxfield used his own face and figure to portray a youth in Grecian costume examining a rose he holds in his hand. The figure is shown sitting below one of the massive oaks on the artist’s property, flanked by two plaster lions the artist had moulded in his studio. The depiction harks back to the 1805 poem by the Irish poet, Thomas Moore: ‘Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No rose-bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes Or give sigh for sigh! I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one...
