Consign It, Don’t Store It!

Have you redecorated or moved to a new home and now some art in your collection just doesn’t work for you any more? Do you have art in the basement or in closets gathering dust and in danger of getting damaged? Consider consigning the items for possible sale through ArtFinders. Someone else might love it as much as you did. Send us an e-mail with a picture of the item or items to artfinders@gmail.com. Make sure you give us as much information as you can about the art work: artist, type of art, title, where and when purchased, condition, and approximate purchase price. We’ll let you know if we think we can find a new home for your art.

Another Masterpiece…

…courtesy of Masterpiece Framing. Wow. The frame has just been completed on this gracious wine painting by Luzanquis. It looks stunning.

Here is a close-up shot of the quadruple stack frame that does such a great job of enhancing the painting:

The piece was framed using only the best, Larson-Juhl frames. Masterpiece Framing is an exclusive dealer of Larson-Juhl frames.

Equine Art

There is something about a work of art featuring a beautiful horse that gives the viewer a feeling of power, romanticism, and freedom. Whether you own horses or simply admire their beauty we have several artists and styles from which to select in this genre.  Equine portraits: Consider having a portrait commissioned of your favorite horse or select from several existing portraits by the artist, Tapia. Tapia’s paintings are a great choice for those who prefer a traditional look.


Equestrian sports are also a popular theme as seen below with Renalv’s “Hunt Scene,”  “Polo” by Lopesalcedo, and “Race at the Paddock” by Marquez-Velazquez.



Equine art is also available for those with transitional and contemporary styles. The pieces by Morante below can be displayed with gallery wrap style stretchers for a contemporary presentation that looks great without a frame.


The horse-themed paintings above are just a tiny sample of what is available. Equine art is always in style and available in just about every art form and media. Call us if you have any special requests!
