ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS
|
Years ago Tom Ray, Animator/Animation Director for Warner Bros., was commissioned by a Fine Arts Gallery to produce the Warner Bros.' classic cartoon characters in 9 x 12 watercolors for them to sell on the cruise ships through Park West Galleries. As Park West Galleries sold these wonderful artworks by Tom Ray, they told their buyers that "Tom Ray had grandfather rights" to these Warner Bros. characters. As Tom Ray was turning 89 years old in 2008 he decided, for the first time since then, to produce some of those fabulous paintings again, this time for himself and his wife, Brenda, and titled them, "Happy 89th Birthday Tom Ray!", which is written on the back of each one. His wife is now selling these original pieces. Each one is signed by Tom Ray and is accompanied with a Certification Documentation that it is an original and that it is signed by Tom Ray. These of course are one of a kind, irreplaceable, beautifully matted and gold framed, and are among the final artworks of Tom Ray! Framed sizes 17-l/2 x 22.

Pencil drawings can be more precious than gold. An original pencil drawing by a major studio artist, animator, animation director is priceless though with a price. They are a rare commodity, original pencil drawings by the studio animators are, and when you find these rare pencil drawings such as these here at Tomstone Gallery, by Irv Spence and Tom Ray and Chuck Jones, Eddie Barge, and others, you must not dither, you must BUY! For you will not see it again, that is, until some time in the future. Maybe. Like now, when we 'hear about' a Michelangelo or a Picasso someone just bought, a painting or a doodle for $80 Million. It wasn't always that way. Michaelangelo and Picasso I'm sure also had family and friends sitting around them at the dinner table as they doodled on that napkin and mom cleaned off the dinner table and threw it in the trash! Maybe. But perhaps. So these that we have, they were something special too, to have been held on to for all this time.. Herein below, and above, you will find some of the most amazing original pencil drawings from the greatest studio artists/animators who ever walked this planet. Pencil is prime, because that is the artist's first hand, first brain. Some of these are seen here for the first time ever publicly. And they are for sale.
