<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 9468049, member: 84&quot;]So this morning - before finishing my 2nd cup of coffee I arrived at my friend&#039;s thrift store at 7am on the dot, just as they were unloading all kinds of art (be still my heart!) and by the time I left I&#039;d bought 6-7 framed pieces (including paintings by Morris Katz &amp; Michigan artist Bill Lewis) + a sketch book full of watercolor paintings + 2 small cast iron black americana figures; 1 a woman bank &amp; 1 a man with mouth wide open ashtray - for $300 in all (that&#039;s a lot first thing in the morning!).</p><p>I&#039;ve got 3 here to show you, including a unusual Morris Katz (which makes 4 now in my collection) + 2 I am hoping someone can make out the signatures on.</p><p>Thank you in advance for any help/information on them!</p><p><br /></p><p>First is the Morris Katz - of a horse race? Or the walk to the gate before the race? Or the cooling the horses down after a race? This is a subject by him which I&#039;ve never seen before - but I like it! (PS - does the date say 1970, or 69 - 70?)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]442269[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]442270[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442271[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>NEXT ONE I CAN READ SARAH FOR 1st NAME BUT CAN NOT MAKE OUT 2nd NAME (OKEM? OLAM?) - ALSO, COLORS APPEAR...RICHER? IN REAL LIFE!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]442273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442278[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>3rd ONE - MAYBE PEN &amp; INK? OR MAYBE (HOPEFULLY NOT) A PRINT/LITHO? HOPING SOMEONE KNOWS WHO ARTIST IS SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO TELL! (I SAVED w/DIFFERENT FILTERS TO TRY TO MAKE IT EASIER TO READ)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]442285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442286[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442288[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]442289[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There is another painting I want to post later that has a card on back that says &#039;Santa Barbara Mission&#039; and has a $550 price tag! The name looks like Bill Leaks or Bill Leash? (I will post later - taking my 92 yr old dad out tonight &amp; have to get ready!)</p><p>Thank you for any help or thoughts on the 2 unknowns![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
