Fine and original painting by Oregon artist Albert Minerva. Painting is Gouache on paperboard and measures 18″ by 25″. Estate signed lower right. Not dated but dates to the 1950s. Minerva’s paintings are nearly always humorous and fun and this one hits his mark perfectly. His style is loose, folksy and modernist. Here we have a couple cowboys and a couple gals drinking in a saloon while a horse waits just out the front door. The first painting is in very good vintage condition and the cruise painting has some circular damage to the corners as can be seen in the photos. Minerva studied at the Chicago Art Institute and spent his life as an illustrator.
