THIS IS A RARESTUDENT ERA MID 20THCPAINTINGBYWELL REGARDEDSOUTHWESTERN ARTIST MERRILL MAHAFFEY. THIS ONE IS PURE AND UNTOUCHED FOR THE MOST PART. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT HAS BELONGED TO 1 FAMILY OWNER FOR ITS LIFETIME. BEYOND THAT, THE ACTUAL PAINTING IS INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL IN THAT IT WAS PAINTED IN A STYLE THAT MR MAHAFFEY NO LONGER USES AND PROBABLY QUICKLY SHIFTED AWAY FROM...ABSTRACT HEAVY IMPASTO.

IT IS IN PRETTY GOOD TO GOOD CONDITION WITH MINOR SOILING, MINOR CRAZING AND A FEW CRACKS IN THE PIGMENT TO THE UPPER REGION (NOT SERIOUS AND THE PIGMENT LAYER ISSTABLE), SOME EDGE WEAR, AND OTHER MINOR WEAR. THEIMAGE (SIGHT) MEASURES30 X 20\". THERE IS NO FRAME. YOU WILL NOTE THAT THE BACKSIDE LISTS THE DIMENSIONS AS \" 20-1/2 X 31 \". THE YOUNG MAHAFFEY PROBABLY DID NOT HAVE A STRETCHER FOR THIS ODD SIZE AND WAS FORCED TO SIZE THE PAINTING ONTO A 20 X 30\" STRETCHER. YOU CAN SEE THE EXTRA INCH STAPLED ALONG THE RIGHT EDGE

MAHAFFEY IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FINEST PAINTERS OF HIS GENERATION. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO ACQUIRE A WORK PAINTED DURING HIS LEARNING CURVE AS AN ARTIST.

I HAVE PRICED THIS RARE, IMPORTANT, AND DESIRABLE PAINTING TO SELL...

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK.

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE FACT THAT I MAY PROFESSIONALLY HAVE THIS PACKED,WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAIL THIS FOR UP TO 1 WEEK AFTER IT IS PAID. A WORD OF WARNING IF YOU WILL. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING! ;)
