Mike Stidham spent his early years in Palm Desert, California, where he dreamed of becoming a desert painter. As a young teen, he began trout fishing in Colorado, selling his early watercolors through local fly shops, and he worked as a fishing guide in Idaho. Among his honors and accomplishments, in 1992 the artist produced the Saltwater Sportfishing Stamp for Texas and, for a time, held the IGFA record for a hammerhead shark taken on a fly rod. He says, “To me the painting is about the sense of place, the feeling of being there, the various colors of the rocks and rhythm and movement of the gravel bed.” Today, Stidham paints from his Sandy, Utah, studio as well as on the many fishing trips he takes to see, study, and pursue his subjects in their natural environment.

WILLY ARACTINGI / UNTITLED OIL (1986)Willy Aractingi
(Lebanon, 1930-2003)
Untitled , 1986
Oil on canvas
35" x 47"
A fantastical arrangement of wildlife from the vibrant vision and hand of Lebanese artist Willy Aractingi. Sometimes classified as a naive artist, the self-taught Aractingi's unique aesthetic is on full display here: graduations of bold color define rhythmic shapes, composing an imagined and primitively executed landscape. His work has been noted by both Christie's and Sotheby's for its similarities to that of Henri Rousseau, a comparison appropriate for their similarities in both style and subject.
Willy Aractingi was born in New York, and was raised internationally before settling in Beirut. He painted throughout his life, but received no formal training. In the 1970s that Aractingi committed himself as an artist, when he opened a modern art gallery and began drawing and painting in earnest. He is best known for his depictions of flora, as well as his series Magnum Opus , a wide-ranging collection of oils based on Jean de la Fontaine's Fables , begun in 1989. In 2017, the Sursock Museum in Beirut held a definitive retrospective titled Les Mondes de Willy Aractingi, showcasing 120 highlights from Aractingi's renowned career.
Signed and dated to the bottom right corner, and presented in a metal frame that measures 36 1/4" x 48 1/4".
Provenance : From the estate of Edwin T. Long, whose daughter Laura married Willy Aractingi's son Ronald. Mr. Long acquired the painting directly from the artist during a visit to Aractingi's Paris studio.
Condition
The extreme edges of the canvas have been impressed by the frame, not visible when the work is in the frame. Otherwise, the work is in very good condition, with no damage found, including no issues or repairs visible under blacklight inspection.

STEUBEN AMETHYST QUARTZ FOOTED BOWLDESCRIPTION: Steuben Amethyst Quartz footed bowl. Designed with blue flecks and acid etched floral decoration. Satin finished with buffed highlights.
Shape #6856.
Cased, acid-etched, fumed lead glass with colorless applied ornament.
Fleur-de-lis acid-etched factory signature on lower side.
Reference:
Shown in Fig. 4.20, p. 48 of Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff.
Also, shown in Plate XVIII of The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner and p. 315. Also, at Ill. 122 p. 80 where Gardner notes it is crackled inside and satin finish has polished highlights and c. 1930. The author states: This glass resembles the mineral for which it was named, but in basic production technique it is similar to Cintra. Usually it was made in heavy glass forms about one-quarter to three-eighths of an inch in thickness. In addition to the powdered glass that gave the object its color, a crackled effect was added.
Pictured Fig. 12, p. 46 of Steuben Seventy Years of American Glassmaking by Perrot, Gardner, Plaut. This rare bowl demonstrates a combination of several glassmaking techniques. The mottled amethyst color is from powdered glass Picked up from the marver in the same technique as that used in producing Cintra pieces. The leaves and feet are of crystal applied At the fire and are tooled while the glass is still hot to give the effect of veinings and bark. After the piece is annealed, the floral design in low relief is acid-etched and the entire surface and applied decorations given a satin finish with buffed highlights.
Also, shown in 1932 Catalogue at p. V. Decoration is identified as Sculptured.
Factory records show this piece priced at $20. Shows it in Rose, Amethyst and Blue.
In Number 54 (Oct-Dec., 1998) of Collectors Choice Review Thomas P. Dimitroff states: (Quartz) is composite, resulting from the application of many glassmaking skills and techniques. The glass itself is cased and includes trapped particles mucin in the same vein as Carder=s Cintra, Cluthra, Lace Glass, and Florentia. The base glass is also crackled. The vase boasts wonderful applied decoration reminiscent of Venetian embellishments; yet, the leaves and vines undulate with a rhythm more attuned to the world of Art Nouveau. Once applied, these decorative elements have been fumed with acid to produce a smooth, satiny visual effect. Finally, the body of the piece itself has been acid-etched carrying further the floral theme of the piece. Pieces like this are magnificent examples of the design, workmanship, and quality of the glass produced at Steuben by Frederick Carder. These pieces also remind us of the unbroken tradition and skills of generations of glassmakers both here and abroad.
