About the PAINTINGS featured here: The style of paintings chosen to be offered here is often quite eclectic. Florals, landscapes, portraits, seascapes, Victorian, impressionistic. We have have two primary requirements: It must be a 100% hand painted, and it must possess that particular magnetic quality that calls you back to admire it again and again. A painting does not have to be painted by a listed artist for us to like it. We believe good art should be judged on its own merit. That said, quite often we discover that the paintings we have chosen have an interesting background, as well as a particularly talented creator, and we make it a point to share that information with you.

Paintings of interest will be considered for display on consignment. Call us at 772-219-0457 or send email to info@TreasureCoastJewelers.com. Many paintings featured here may also be purchased on layaway.


ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING: Hauntingly beautiful original oil painting. Its age is estimated at perhaps 30 to 40 years. A beautiful woman gazes pensively at a vase of fresh cut flowers, yet her mind is a thousand miles away from the dressing room. She wears a rich, amethyst colored dressing gown. A dark towel is loosely turbaned about her hair, partially shielding her eyes..... and her thoughts.......
Predominant colors are soft peach and jewel tones. Certain areas of the canvas feature graceful, raised designs under the oils. The painting has just been reframed. Frame has a soft mottled gold finish. This is an absolutely exquisite piece. We've got it displayed in the Treasure Coast Jewelers showroom and everyone who walks in the door immediately falls in love with it, (us included). Canvas measurement before framing was 30" x 40".
About the Artist: We have been unable to locate a legible signature on this absolutely stunning painting. It came from an estate on the Treasure Coast. Consignment. ON HOLD Item#c-ml-leboudoir

ORIGINAL OLD OIL PAINTING:
Artist: W. Riley
Subject: Landscape - Lighthouse
This is BIG vintage Florida oil painting (It measures 53" x 41") of a lighthouse with a fascinating past. Our research indicates that this is a rare, original oil painting of the 1825 Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, Florida (the original 1825 lighthouse was attacked and burned by Seminole Indians in 1838, replaced by the one you see standing today, which makes this painting a unique collectors item). Until acquired from the estate, this painting had been hanging in its former owners winter home. The well executed oil painting looks to have been reframed sometime in the 1950's. Subject matter, based on research and private collection photos/sketches is unquestionably 1800's and physical characteristics unique to this specific lighthouse correspond to non-public data. Although we have neither the equipment nor expertise to definitively date the painting, we have performed exhaustive research and conferred with lighthouse historians, the results of which are provided here for your review.

Watercolors

WATERCOLOR: The Jester
Painted in soft pastel tones. The jester's expression is at once pensive, resigned, and bemused, yet his eyes bely a certain sardonic humor hidden beneath a public facade. The artist has successfully captured the soul of his winsome subject, (which bears a strong resemblance Prince Charles) displaying its considably poignant appeal. A warm and witty painting.
Painting in its frame measures 13.5" x 16.5". Circa mid 1990's.

WATERCOLOR: Villa Lago
There's something both whimsical and romantic about a European villa that extends out into a lake. Step inside the painting.....Water ebbs and flows through rugged brick archways beneath the villa. The lake may be tidal, since a darker waterline is visible halfway up the brick arches. The roof of the weathered villa is handmade barrel tile over rough hewn wooden beams. A heavy paneled door on the second floor leads to an archway where a wooden balcony overlooks the water. Come, step out onto the balcony with your glass of wine. Toss a scrap of bread to ducks who have gathered to socialize and groom themselves while paddling lazily in the water below. Drink in the moment, and commit this lovely place to memory, because it will forever remind you of a special beauty.
Painting in its frame measures 17" x 20".
About the Artist: Painting is signed M Moreno R , followed by the date, 1888
