This is a square painting of marshland/wetland with trees and seagulls in the skies.
The colors are very vivid, the painting is signed "Matson" in the lower left corner.
After doing some research, I think this signature belongs to an American artist Richard Matson.
This painting is likely to be a "plain air" piece, as there is some paint on the back of the board. Not sure if it belongs to his Key West series.
I also think this piece is vintage, as the frame looks old.
Please notice that in the middle of the painting there is a spot that looks like somebody placed a piece of fabric on wet painting. See pic for close-up of this particular spot.
Macys 1940s Steiff Christmas store front Lion, story goes that there were only 4 of these lions made for Macy in 1940s or 50s theres a pull string that makes the jaw move and the Lion Roar, the roar is a little weak now but still works. It's almost life size and in pretty good shape. It belongs to a friend of mine that is looking to sale it, but has had a hard time finding any info on it.any help and possibly an appraisal and offers would be great. Thank you very much
