Frank Vining Smith Oil Painting
I have a 23" x 16" oil on board by Frank Vining Smith. The signature matches the example shown online. Subject is a schooner in forefront with a smaller one in background on high seas. The very different thing about this painting is that it is done in shades of yellow to light gold with some white and red details. It reminds me of a sea bathed in sunlight. If anyone has any info or a similar painting, I would appreciate any info.
Thank you,
Rebecca

Wild life painting
I have this wonderfule painting on some kind of press board. It is definately an oil painting with his name Frank Vining Smith on the right hand lower corner. My father obtained it back in the 1950's and he gave it to me several years before he died. It is very old and was wondering if someone out there may want to have it in the family. Please respong to me by email. I have several photos of it to see as well.
Thank you

Sand Dunes Frank Vining Smith
I have this gorgeous piece handed down from my grandparents to my father to me. I am recently discovering that Frank and Grandfather (Donald Wyman) were friends. I think they may have even sailed together. I'll post more later as I learn more. It is definitely not for sale. It feels like a piece of my soul. I am taking it up to Skinner's Auction/Appraisal House for an appraisal. I think it should probably be insured. Meanwhile if anyone has any information about this painting, I'd love to hear.

Frank Vining Smith Painting on old cardboard?
I recently came across a FVS piece of artwork -signed in the lower right hand corner. It appears to be painted on cardboard or painted on something else and then attached to the cardboard(?) It is definitely not a print, but a painting. Does anyone have any information on how I might learn more about the painting?
Thanks in advance.

the frank v smith painting on display
-- it is a painting of a vessel - a full rigged ship, and absolutely not a scooner of any kind.

authenicity/restoration of FVS oil paintings
I have restored a great many Frank Vining Smith oil paintings and am very familiar with his work since I grew up in the town where he lived and have cleaned his paintings since I went into business 30 years ago. If anyone would like my opinion as the the authenticity of any of his work I would offer my opinion without charge. Sincerely, Peter Williams
