Manuel Garza Oil on Canvas, 1968
About the Item
Presenting a beautiful piece of American and Texan Art by the highly regarded Texas Artist, Manuel Garza.
This is an oil on canvas from 1968
A very early example of Garza's work.
It features 'Birds in Flight' in a rustic Texan setting.
Very nice signed on the bottom left by 'Manual Garza'. Also signed on the back and marked 'A-68'.
It is in its' original frame.'
It is extremely well painted, has 'plenty' of detail and has real quality !!
In an square Mexican (Baja) Frame. It features birds in flight (probably Quail) with pasture, trees, cactus, etc.
It has a loose leaflet all about the Artist, Manual Garza attached to the rear of the frame.
It also has its original price tag from the 1960's of $170.00.
What makes this painting all the more interesting and important is that Garza was only 28 years old when he painted this. It is a very early painting by him and does not feature a small red bird, which subsequently became his trademark signature in the vast majority of his paintings, meaning that this original Garza is extremely rare!!!!
You will note that his signature on the bottom left is 'RED' and this might have given him the idea of the red bird in subsequent paintings.
A super piece of 20th century Texas art !!
It is beautifully painted, has real quality and is in great condition !!
Manuel Garza(American, B. 1940)
Manuel Garza has made his vocation the painting of Central Texas Landscapes. Born in the Hill country, his parents were migrant farm workers. He traveled all over Texas and as far north as Michigan with his family, working along side them in the fields.
It was while picking cotton, digging potatoes, and other produce, that he developed a love of the land and the beauty it brings forth. His mother, who loved craftwork, noted his sketching on rest periods and encouraged her son to stay in school, learn, and do something with his talents. He became the only high school graduate in his family.
He is a self-taught artist. His only formal training was with Charles Normann at the Texas School of fine arts in 1966-1968. There he frequently visited museums, studying the works of Porfirio Salinas, Robert Wood, and other western artists.
Although he paints in his studio, his works are influenced by his many long hikes where he often stops to capture the scenery both with photographs and sketches. He strives to depict Central Texas as it really is, Bluebonnet and autumn scenes being some of his favorites.
Today his work can be found in the collections of John Connally, LBJ and Lady Bird Johnson, Dolph Briscoe, and many other noted Western Art Collectors. His works are exhibited all over Texas.
MANUEL GARZA: One of the premier landscape artist of the Texas Hill Country working today, Manuel's trademark Redbird (found in each painting), his exacting detail, down to the last flower or rock, make each spring or autumn landscape come alive with photographic realism.
Manuel is a self taught artist who has studied the works of Porforio Salinas and Robert Wood in the museums and galleries of Texas. His studio is filled with sketches and photos that result from the long hikes in the fields of bluebonnets in the spring, and from walks along the riverbanks in the fall as he looks for sightings of the Texas wildlife that appears so often in his paintings.
His works can be found in the homes and offices of discriminating collectors of Western Art, among whom are John Connally, Lady Bird Johnson, Dolph Brisco and many others.

Manuel Garza
Growing up in Central Texas, Manuel Garza is well acquainted with the Texas hill country scenery. His goal is to recreate this scenery to perfection, capturing in oil the thick heat, bold sunlight and cool shade of the state. His use of lighting and vivid colors and his realistic style reflects his passion for beauty. Garza's work often features not only wildflowers but quail, pheasant, turkeys, deer and a host of domestic birds. "I am a landscape artist," he says, "but wildlife is part of that landscape. It adds life." His paintings have an instant rapport with those who know and love the Texas landscape. Garza is largely self-taught, encouraged by his mother, although he did attend the Texas School of Fine Arts and studied under Charles Normann as well as Porfirio Salinas and Robert Wood, and cites them as major influences on his style. He feels that it is equally important to remain constantly in contact with his favorite subject, the land itself, and takes long hikes, photographing and sketching the landscape. These feelings are shared with others through his perception of Texas and it's a natural beauty. Manuel Garza is exhibited in galleries throughout Texas and New Mexico, and the geographical area of interested collectors is constantly expanding. His paintings are included in the collection of Lyndon B. Johnson, John Connelly, Ben Barnes, and many others throughout the United States.

Irish Oil on Canvas of Ballagh Horse Fair by Seamus Coleman
By Seamus Coleman
Located in Dallas, TX
Lovely piece of original Irish Art from one of our favourite artists.
Painting by popular and r`apidly rising Irish Artist, Seamus Coleman of County Roscommon.
This painting is titled ” Ballagh Horse Fair”. Signed on the bottom right.
Framed and under glass. Original frame.
Ireland is world famous for its equine industry. Irish horses of all breeds are highly prized and sought out internationally. Ireland is very proud of this. This painting depicts a Horse Fair in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon in the West of Ireland. There are many horse fairs throughout Ireland, especially in the Summertime. Local Breeders will bring their ponies into the local town square or Market square and trade, buy, sell and barter ponies. What I love about this painting is it's 'whimsical' depiction of a fair in that you have ponies and a group of farmers in heated debate (haggling). The cause of this heated debate in on the bottom left..a donkey! Someone is trying to trade a donkey for a pony, hence the debate! it then, has the classic Irish Pub...
