Inventory Liquidation Sale Continues...

After more than 30 years of buying and selling art and antiques, I’ve decided it’s time for a change. I am closing the retail portion of my business so that I can dedicate myself fully to making art. This transition marks the beginning of a long held dream, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.

The sale discount has been increased to 50 percent. Please use the discount code DIVERS at checkout to receive an automatic 50% discount on all available inventory. I will consider reasonable offers on some items as well. Thank you for your patronage, friendship, and encouragement.I have

This very charming 19th century retablo represents San Ysidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers. San Ysidro is invoked for agricultural issues, good weather (before picnics) and prosperous crop. According to popular legend, Saint Isidore was instructed by God to stop working on the Sabbath but the saint was too overwhelmed with work and would not obey. The lord threatened him three times and San Ysidro accepted the Lord's offer of an angel to help him complete his chores. Saint Isidore is almost always depicted as he is here, working the fields with his angel and cattle.

Oil on tin. Circa 1880.
