A very fine oil on Masonite of a beach/wharf in Provincetown, MA signed Whittingham. The artist is Bonnie Whittingham (1921-1997), who operated a studio across from the Provincetown Playhouse for many years. It's a fabulous and colorful example of the Provincetown School of Art, popular in the early to mid-1900s. I would estimate this picture dates from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. It comes in what I assume is its original silver painted contemporary frame. Size of the art is 18" by 24." With frame it is 19&1/2" by 25&1/2," so it is large enough to own its own wall. Condition is as found and as shown. Please look at all photos to form your own opinion of quality and condition. I would say VG with no problems or defects. Frame has a couple of minor dings but the package shows beautifully and is ready to hang. Whittingham has strong auction listings and I would say this is one of her best. This is the perfect painting to go with any contemporary design, and a great example of 20th century American art. US ship only. Thanks for looking!
