If you are an art collector and are looking to find two new artists to add to your personal collection, look no further than to Mackenzie Thorpe and Dr. Seuss.
Mackenzie Thorpe is a world renowned English born artist that has triumphed over his own adversities, while inspiring many all over the world. We carry rare edition pieces of Mackenzie Thorpe, plus two originals adorn the walls at Legends Gallery. One particular Etching that is Rare and Sold out already, “This Little Heart Of Mine,” is still available…NOW. The key word is now because there only a handful left before “This Little Heart of Mine” will be completely sold out. This piece measures 18″ h x 24″ w unframed and is $2500.00. The example below shows an excellent way of framing Mackenzie Thorpe’s famous child-in-duffel-coat image that is synonymous of his artwork all over the world. In Mackenzie Thorpe’s own words: “Sometimes I paint a child, he may not have a face.
Without a face, he’s every child. the clot of his coat is hardy and plain, his shoes sturdy. Sometimes he has so little that I paint him without a shadow. The landscape is barren, without flowers or trees. The child is totally alone. But then I might add a bit of color, trying to put some hope in the picture.”
Mackenzie Thorpe’s work embraces the struggle of love and why love is always a blessing…even when love can be difficult. Thorpe reminds us to never forget to bring love with us on our journey in life….
Do please call the gallery immediately if you are interested because there are truly only a handful left in the world. Ask for “Michelle” at Legends Gallery. The number is: (858) 456-9900.
Legends Gallery also carries world renowned author Theodor Geisel Seuss, known to his many fans and avid readers as “Dr. Seuss.” What many of you may not know is Dr. Seuss was also an extraordinary painter. Keeping his collection to himself and to his only privileged circle of loved ones and friends, fans of Dr. Seuss have been able to collect his work beginning in 1997 when they began releasing the edition pieces to the public. One of my favorite pieces of Dr. Seuss’s is called “Every Girl Should Have a Unicorn.”
This particular piece I feel embraces the vibrancy of color he used in his books, his whimsical approach toward life with the tiny reminder in the right hand corner of the painting not to forget our precious imagination. “Every Girl Should Have a Unicorn,” by Dr. Seuss measures 36″ x 24″ unframed and was released in 2001. Priced at $3195.00.

Saturday Evening Post cover, November 21, 1925.
This is Rockwell’s first real sports cover. Baseball appealed to him more than football and, beginning with the l00th anniversary of the game for which he did the July 8, 1939 cover, he painted several memorable scenes which showed baseball greats – Ted Williams, Red Schoendienst – in action, or, more exactly, reaction.
Catching figures in action and more specifically at the moment of impact, as here, is next to impossible because the moment is too fast to freeze. Still, Rockwell has made a success of the moment, causing the ball to fly with the wind that got knocked out of the model, capturing impact without suggesting pain or ineptitude. In the days before the carefully uniformed midget footballers of today, fragments of uniforms were highly prized and worn more as badges of honor than for the protection they might offer players. The old style ball with its lacing – it seemed to have been laced from within by gnomes who lived inside, and stuffing the rubber bladder back in the leather was one of life’s most delicate operations – the helmets and the boots suggest that the last thing Rockwell wants to do is ennoble the gladiatorial contest.

“Blessed” by Mackenzie Thorpe $895 unframed & framed $1445.00. Hand-Pulled Serigraph on Coventry Rag Paper .Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite pieces at Legends Fine Art Gallery in La Jolla, California. “Blessed” by Mackenzie Thorpe is an exquisite art piece that has layers of love, hope and faith layered throughout. This particular piece wrestles with the “struggle of love” and why it’s worth fighting for always. We are “Blessed to have love, be loved and to share love. Even when it can be difficult, the key is to remember love is always a blessing full of hope and light.
