Watercolor's are the next big thing

It has been an exciting suummer for Piccolo Art. The summer was kicked off by the Wilton Ct. Summer antique show. The weather was great and we had a really great time in seeing Connecticut. We particularly enjoyed a wonderful museum in New Britain which had a great number of American artwork(including portraits of course)

The next trip was to England for the show at the NEC and the first day was very busy with customers and a number of items being sold. John Downman was well represented on our stand and we sold a number of his pieces along with two pastels and a lovely oil painting of a lady with a pink dress.

John Downman studied under Benjamin West and was one of the finest artist of the period


his bio can be seen on the link below

We were very glad to see a number of old clients and sell to a couple of new ones.

During the trip we also had time to go to Norway and saw one of our favorite museums the Munch museum in Oslo. It was fantastic to see the scream in person.
