Pump Organ

The pump organ was used in my church (and my uncle's) when I was small (50's) and he left it to me. It still works; he played it all the time. It still works.

On one side with arm going down has a lovely green looks like a palm  tree leaves, again with depth of specs around bottom and at top of arm is trimmed with green on the outside beige lines around blue very pretty but also artwork is of a not expert. 2nd front looks like a boy hugging a teepee with holding head down with foot with a sandal on it. Has green cacti trees around him.  Very in depth 3rd attempt again has spec artwork at  bottom. Other side has 2 lovely cacti trees with flowers off of them. again spec artwork at bottom.  Top of pitcher opening has blue paint and clay color going down inside for approx. .5 and also 1 inch not even, looks like trying to paint inside w/o lot of paint just to look finished.

EXCELLENT CONDITION - paint very good condition colors very true - only thing wrong has been broken at top of picture and glued back - doesn;t take away from look at all with primitive artwork on it.  I love it - hate to sell it...but doesn't fit with decor

Vincente Garcia de Paredes OverPainting

Category
Paintings
Condition
Excellent
Description

I bought this painting at the estate sale of a 102 year old woman, this painting was her mothers! I asked questions about this - all that was known by the remaining family is this painting is in all likliehood 100 years old or more. It is an original overpainting by the artist (the artist lived mid 1800s to 1906 I believe) - I am still a little unclear of what the term "overpainting" means as I have now heard two different definitions of what that is... It is in wonderful condition, the detail is excellent. I tried to do some research on the artist and found minimal information to my surprise, or perhaps I wasn't looking in the correct places I am not sure. Any information you could provide I would appreciate. My main questions are - I would like to know more about the artist, the style of painting this is, what is an overpainting more precisely, is an overpainting more or less valuable than a regular painting, and what is the value or guestimated value of this painting. Thank you very much in advance.

Sorry about the blurriness of the signature - you should be able to make it out still - for whatever reason the flash was causing me problems when I was trying to photograph that section of the painting.

 

Although I don't have this up for sale, I am still considering it. Although I will admit I do love the painting.
