This painting measures 36 x 10. Van has been known to paint his art representative of the Zodiac Signs. This beautiful piece is for Sale at the Gallery on Greene in Key West Florida. I notice his signature red fruit that appears in most of his latter paintings before he died.
I don’t have any information about this painting except that it seems rare for Van to paint such an unusual dimension. I have heard that Van painted large canvases – after he completes and examines his work, any section that he was not happy with, he would cut out. This may just be one of those piece.
If you like more information – you may contact the Gallery on Greene directly.

Hi Mark,
somehow these paintings remind me a little bit of Gustav Klimt although that comparison is always unfair. Every artist is his/her own identity. But this explains perhaps why I feel very much attracted by this painter whose name I have never heard of before. The paintings are adorable and I very much hope that you will get the support you wish i.e. collecting more photos of this painter.
Greetings, Petra

Thank You Petra!
I had to look up Gustav Klimt, I’m not familiar with his art.
After seeing his paintings, I would not say I am an immediate fan – but the one non-female painting called “Avenue in Schloss Kammer Park”, is exquisite. I love how he captures the branches rising up and the dark shadows of the trees.
Thanks for your comment.
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body,[1] and his works are marked by a frank eroticism–nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.
