James McGinley
Fixing the Spur, original 24x20 southwestern figurative impressionist landscape

About the Item

As the rider is gently and carefully fixing the spur on his favorite horse, the mutual feeling of ties between man and his cherished pet is palpable. On a dusty, dry, day in the southwest the world disappears and their bonding and friendship replaces all else. The warm tones add to the mood. The background gold is a constant reminder of the heat of the afternoon sun. Painted during his southwestern period, New Jersey artist James McGinley, former chairman of the fine art department of the famed Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, exemplifies the diversity of his skills in this rare, one of a kind original southwestern figurative impressionist landscape. It is framed in a highly rustic and distressed custom frame to suit the subject matter of the painting. The unframed painting is 24x20. James McGinley passed away in 2021.

  • Waiting on Brandy, original 24 x 28 figurative equestrian hunt landscape
    Located in Spring Lake, NJ
    The thrill of traversing the beautiful spring countryside rushes color to their cheeks, tightens their calves, lowers their heels and steadies their hands as they ready for the hunt. The horn is sounded, the hounds begin chase and the riders reassure their horse while urging them forward. The scent of the fox, the chase, the jumping across the creeks and over downed branches has come to an end for another equestrian hunt shared with the other highly regarded club members. They walk their horses for a while as the horses and hounds cool down and the riders are waiting on brandy to mellow out the day's excitement. With pristine riding gear intact they let their minds wander to both family and club hunts and events of times gone by. Artist Joseph Sundwall...

  • "Mallard Study" Oil Painting
    Located in Denver, CO
    Scott Conary's "Mallard Study" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a yellow billed duck floating peacefully in tranquil blue waters. About the Artist: Raised where the East Coast suburbs filtered into the woods and farms, Scott Conary (Rhode Island School of Design, BFA ’93) creates expressive oil paintings with rich surfaces of everyday objects and places, often those with which we have complicated and ambiguous relationships. Pulled from their context, these objects say something about how we interact with the world and one another. These are stories of the arbitrary nature of beauty, of melancholy, of fleeting triumph, and the camouflage of time: the mess and splendor of the broken egg, the weed that fights to survive in the gaps of our attention, the weathered door used for generations but now forgotten, and so on. Fueling and inspiring this work is his young daughter’s battle with complicated heart defects, her experiences with disability, and the impact this has had on those around her. This has directed his focus toward the narratives and tensions in the familiar, and is why he wanders deeper into the thicket of representational work.  Conary's work is in collections nationally and internationally, and has been exhibited widely including Salmagundi’s American Masters shows. Conary is represented by the Principle Gallery (Alexandria, VA), Bowersock Gallery (Provincetown, MA), Turner Fine Art (Jackson...
