The August issue of American Art
Collector we feature covers of the
Long’s Park Art Festival in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. Over the years the show
as attracted artists from all over to
participate. In anticipate for the show,
held over Labor Day weekend, we
previewed several of the works that would
be available to purchase including James
Whitbeck’s still life Tooth of the Lion,
titled for the dandelions that are included
in the bloom bouquet.
Upon receiving the August edition of
the magazine, a subscriber and collector
reached out to purchase the painting.
“It was through American Art Collector
that the sale was made possible,” says
the artist. “He had not seen my work
before and so this would be his first
piece of mine. He did not visit the show
in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, so it was via
emails we were able to transact the sale.”
The collector’s primary focus is on 1800through 1950s American impressionism,
but told the artist he had “a very unique
talent” and that they “loved the painting.”Interested in having your SOLD!
