"Tender Tie Up" Miniature Art Painting by Jan Borgner
I knew Jan Borgner, a resident of Dunedin, FL and Ohio, through her participation at the Dunedin Fine Art Center and remember her work as a member and exhibitor with the Miniature Art Society of Florida at DFAC, where she exhibited her oil and watercolor paintings. This miniature watercolor, Tender Tie Up, is a fine example of her painting and composition talents and was originally priced in the early to mid-90’s at $285.
Her obituary stated, “Janice was an award-winning self-taught artist and well known in Ohio and Florida for her sharp focus realism oil and watercolor paintings. Janice enjoyed showing her paintings at many galleries throughout Florida and Ohio. She was a certified miniature artist and was immensely proud to have one of her miniature paintings on display at the Smithsonian Museum”.

Untitled Miniature Art Painting by Joyce Rowsell
This painting of an old English country home in beautifully painted atmosphere and detail was exhibited and purchased at a Miniature Art Society of Florida exhibition at the Dunedin Fine Art Center, Dunedin, Florida in the mid-1990’s. The painting within the frame is 4 ¼ inches wide x 3 ½ inches high. The late British artist, Joyce Rowsell, was known for the excellence of her oil on silk miniature paintings with favorite subjects being landscapes, portraits, British classic automobiles and 18th century English architecture, an area of study paired with 17th Century Baroque Painting for her History of Art Degree from London University.

Joyce Rowsell joined the Hilliard Society of Wells in Somerset thirty-four years ago, becoming President of the internationally acclaimed society in 2015. She received over 100 prizes and awards for her miniature work from Societies and Galleries in England and the USA and was elected a ‘Miniature Artist of America’ in 2006. Rowsell was a full member of the Royal Miniature Society and was listed in Who’s Who in Art in 1996. She passed away in March of 2020.
My late wife Nancy Iater received the painting as a gift and the tag on the back of the painting with its title and price was removed. The only other Joyce Rowsell miniature painting I find currently on the market is listed at $895. Examples of the artist’s work can be seen at http://leeminiaturecollection.com/collection-joyce-rowsell.html, or by googling Images of Joyce Rowsell.

Oil on silk/board
4 ¼ x 3 ½ inches painting dimensions
6 ¼ x 5 ½ inches outside frame
Price: $350 (Negotiable)
Miniature art was instituted in the 16th Century and miniature paintings later became popular, among those who could afford it, as keepsake images of religious subjects or loved ones who were separated for long periods of time. Photography would later become a much cheaper alternative.

Graphic View II 4 x 5" Large Format Camera (SOLD)
I am selling this 4 x 5 Graphic View II that I have had for at least 20 years and never used. It has stayed in its case and from everything I can see now, it is about as perfect as it could be. It is my hope that this camera will find its way to one of the die – hard photographers who still work in film and in the darkroom.

Folmer Graflex Corporation began production of the Graphic View camera in 1941, its look being starkly different than the classic wooden view cameras of the time with its all-metal, gray painted, art deco look. The Graphic View and Graphic View II use the distinctive inverted V-rail which carries a tripod mount and allows the camera to be stored upside-down in its Vulcanoid carrying case.
According to a Graflex.org article, Graflex: The View Cameras – The Graphic View, by Gerald Pierce, “The Graphic View camera has base tilts on both standards. The front standard has rise and fall (3 5/8") by operation of a locking rack and pinion mechanism. Both standards shift 5/8" either way, and tilt 26 degrees either way. Both standards also swing 12 degrees.”

1 – Graphic View II w/tripod head
1 – Original “Vulcanoid” carrying case

Bede Clark Ceramic "Rice Bowl"

“…For me good pots are not defined by a technique but most often by a healthy balance of energy/wildness and restraint/firmness. I have always thought pots are a lot like people.”

Bede Clark is highly regarded as a ceramic artist and has exhibited extensively nationwide and internationally. I was privileged to exhibit and sell his work on a few occasions at the Dunedin Fine Art Center when he still lived in Pinellas County. He has been a Professor of Art at the University of Missouri since 1992.
This Korean inspired primitive rice bowl was a demo piece purchased from his workshop at the Dunedin Fine Art Center long ago.

Hamilton Drafting / Artist's Table - ca. 1940 (SOLD)
I have owned this beautiful antique drawing table since 1985 when I purchased it from a friend. It is in original, unrestored condition showing some wear that can only be described as the attractive patina of age and use. It looks much as it did when I purchased it as I have been careful about covering it when painting and drawing. It traveled from Gulfport to South Pasadena, to Yuma AZ back to South Pasadena, to Dunedin, FL to Greenville, NC and back to Dunedin. The top can lay flat or be angled up. It breaks down completely in a logical and simple manner - I used to do it by myself.
