«I am a child of the seventies raised primarily in the suburbs of Hartford, Connecticut. Looking at it, I believe, you can very easily trace her recent work back to this beginning style. My oil paintings straddle the line between abstraction and realism using bold graphics to create a quiet landscape.
You get the exact painting pictured in gently used condition. It is an oil on panel painting, signed by the artist Aberk. Depicts a country road/path leading to what looks like a small village. Could be an English or early Americana setting. Measures 18 x 24“. Please note this is a vintage painting and may show some light signs of wear, but overall it looks to be in really good condition, but please see photos. This piece came from a local auction that was selling off a private art collection. The pieces were collected over many years mostly from artists based out of New Mexico and the southwest United States

Portrait of a young woman signed by Eugene de Blaas dated 1894. It is oil on panel, 12-5/8″ x 10-1/2″ sight, 17″ x 14-3/4″ framed. The 1890s were the high period for de Blaas, and admittedly there were artists that faked his work, even including faking his signature. I have asked several experts regarding authenticity and there is no real agreement. To me it seems unusual that someone would forge an artist’s signature in his lifetime, and de Blaas lived until 1932. The style of signing along the side of the painting rather than along the bottom is not unusual in paintings by de Blaas in which there is general agreement on the authenticity. I don’t know whether this work is by Eugene de Blaas, but I think it probably is.
