Vintage Oil Rocky Seaside, signed Edward Gordon
A beautiful glimpse of a rocky seaside shore. This is an oil on canvas. The signature is Gordon and after reviewing several Edward Gordon paintings and signatures, I do believe this is an Edward Gordon work given the subject matter and style. The signature is a little hard to read, but it does appear to match. It is likely an older work by him, earlier in his career.
Here is the bio on Gordon (1940-2023) from Prentice Fine Art:
Edward Gordon was born in Ocean City, New Jersey in 1940 and after receiving a BA from Rutgers University, pursued a career as a Certified Public Accountant. In 1980, after much encouragement from his well received early works, Edward made the bold move to leave the security of a 9 to 5 job to fulfill a life-long dream and dedicate his time and energy to painting.
Over the past 20 years he has received numerous honors and awards including: Cover art and feature article in The Artist's Magazine, July 2003 and winner of The Artists Magazine, May, 1995 Cover Competition. Also, cover art and center spread in Yankee Magazine, March 2000 and March 2001. Edward's work appears in the 2001 The Artist's Illustrated Encyclopedia. He also won first prize in the landscape division of The Artists Magazine 1993 art competition, and finalist in the 1994 Arts for the Parks competition. Edward was named Painter of the Year by the Spotlight Magazine's 1997/98 Reader's Choice Awards in Portsmouth, NM. Gordon's work has also appeared in the November, 1983 American Artist Magazine, the 1996 North Light book, Enliven Your Paintings with Light, the 1996 North Light book, Artist's Materials, and the January 1997. In October, 2007 Edward was honored to be included in the International Contemporary Art Exhibit at the Vittoriano in Rome, Italy
His paintings and prints are included in private and public collections across North America and Europe. Sadly, Edward Gordon passed away late 2023 at the age of 83, but lives on through his remarkable artworks.
I kept the original frame for this one because it accented the painting so well. The painting is 8x10, with frame is it 16x18. Painting is in good condition, with minor damage to the frame. Please see all the pictures for details.
