Description: MOTIVATED SELLER - MAKE BEST OFFER!!JIM GERARD HOLEHOSUE TROPIC ART DESIGN Jim Holehouse, the oldest of nine children, was born in the town of Coshocton, Ohio in 1950. He had an early interest in the fine arts, but pursued an education in mechanical engineering at the University of Cincinnati. During the grueling winters, Jim had a vision of sunshine, palm covered beaches, and tropical winds… the time had come to leave the Midwest behind. Jim relocated his life to south Florida, where he attended the Gold Coast sailing school, and then began teaching sailing. As a result, he wound up chartering many trips to the Caribbean and South America. It was during this time that he began an endless fascination with the tropical destinations, the sea, and surrounding architecture. He began working in the watercolor medium, attempting to capture the vivid color, emotion, and spontaneity of the tropics. And all who are familiar with Jim’s work will attest that he has indeed captured that feeling in nearly thirty years of original works. By 1976, Jim and his brothers John and Tom had founded Tropic Art Design in Orlando, FL, handling all publishing and distribution, framing, and shipping of Jim’s fine prints and originals to a worldwide audience. And since its inception, Tropic Art has grown to be a fixture in the central Florida art community, one of very few must-see galleries in the area. Jim’s work has been sold and collected for nearly thirty years, and the value of the paintings from this master watercolor artist has increased along with his growing popularity. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "SEASON OF THE PALM" The Deluxe "Remarque" Hand Colored Print of Jim Gerard Holehouse's "Season of the Palm" is shown in the photos above. The Painting is a stunning limited edition signed print that has been hand embellished. It is also hand painted outside of the borders of the painting extending into the matting where the matting has been decoratively cut to extend the image. This hand embellished print is breathtaking due to its large size and astounding colors. The beauty of this Painting and its hand colored embellishments brings to life a picture of a beautiful Caribbean Seaside Village. Jim Gerard Holehouse himself authenticated, in the Certificate of Authenticity shown above, that the "Remarque" versions of the Season of the Palm" painting are limited to 100. Each of these 100 Paintings are hand colored and painted. This Painting is large - the frame measures 54.25 x 42.5 inches! This print has been professionally framed and matted behind non reflective acrylic glass. The frame is a beautiful white wood frame with high quality matting trimmed in gold. The matting has been cut and hand painted on the left corner, top middle, and right middle. The colors are stunning and bright which is Holehouse's usual style. The condition of the Painting and framing is mint and flawless. This Painting was purchased directly from the artist in 1997 at "Sunfest" in West Palm Beach. A recent look at Tropic Art's website shows that the "Season of the Palm" limited edition Remarque is no longer available. Holehouse still creates Remarque paintings. It is his trademark style. Many of his new Remarque Prints are being sold for more than our asking price, shown above. This Painting is one of his most sought after and beautiful hand embellished oil painted prints Holehouse ever created. As shown above, the buyer will receive the Certificate of Authenticity signed by Holehouse as well as the brochure he distributed at 1997's "Sunfest" which is also autographed by Holehouse. This piece of art will make a great addition to any home or collection.___________________________________________________________________________________________ Local Pickup is limited to Eastern Palm Beach County, FL area.
