"Carmel Seaside" Oil Painting by Winslow

Description:
This is an original oil painting depicting a serene coastal scene from Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. The composition features windswept dunes, weathered beach grass, a broken fence, and a tranquil sea under a soft sky. The painting is signed in the lower left corner by the artist "Winslow."

Medium:
Oil on canvas

Size:
20" x 24"

Date Period:
Circa 1980s

Provenance:
Purchased in Carmel, California in the 1980s—an area known for its vibrant artist colony and coastal beauty.

Condition:
Good overall condition. No visible cracks or discoloration in the paint. The canvas appears taut and properly framed.

Artist Information:
The signature "Winslow" could potentially refer to a regional or lesser-known artist working in Carmel during the late 20th century. There is no current confirmation that this refers to a well-known painter such as Winslow Homer, whose style and period do not match. More likely, this is a local artist producing scenic landscapes for the tourist and collector market of the region.

Market Value Estimate:
Given the attractive composition, good size, and location-specific subject matter, the painting could fetch between $150 and $350 USD in a retail or online resale setting. If the artist is identified and found to be regionally collected, the value could be higher.

Recommendation:
If you are interested in further authenticating the artist, you may wish to consult a Carmel-area gallery or art historian familiar with coastal California artists from the 1970s–1990s.

​I conducted a search on ArtistsSignatures.com and found several artists with the surname "Winslow," including Earle Bartrum Winslow and Eleanor C.A. Winslow. However, none of these artists are specifically associated with Carmel, California, or known for coastal landscapes.​Artists' Signatures

Additionally, I discovered information about Winslow Wilson, an American painter active in the mid-20th century, who worked under various pseudonyms, including Pico Miran and Tex Wilson. Wilson was known for his seascapes and post-modern artwork, primarily associated with the East Coast art scene, particularly in Massachusetts. There is no indication that he had a connection to Carmel or the West Coast.​Wikipedia

Given this information, it's unlikely that the artist of your painting is among these individuals. The signature "Winslow" might belong to a lesser-known or regional artist active in Carmel during the 1980s. To further investigate the artist's identity, consider the following steps:​

  1. Consult Local Art Institutions: Reach out to galleries, museums, or art associations in Carmel or the broader Monterey Peninsula. They may have records or knowledge of artists active in the area during the 1980s.​
  2. Engage with Art Communities: Participate in online forums or social media groups dedicated to California art or art from the 1980s. Members might recognize the artist's signature or style.​
  3. Professional Appraisal: Hire an art appraiser with expertise in California artists or 20th-century American art. They can provide insights based on the painting's style, technique, and other characteristics.​
  4. Signature Databases: Explore other signature databases or art directories that might list lesser-known artists.​

Identifying the artist can significantly impact the painting's value and provide a richer understanding of its historical context.
