    I am down sizing, and wish to sell my R Atkinson Fox collection. I have 15-20 prints most in original frames and it very good condition. I tried selling on Marketplace but no one was interested. Any suggestions as to a good website to sell them?

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Mary, maybe give Ebay a try? Otherwise you could possibly sell them on consignment at a local antique or secondhand shop. They would charge a percentage of the sale price. You could also give Marketplace another try; sometimes it’s the time of year, etc. Definitely put them in the antique section. Good luck!

    Thank you, Lora~ We enjoyed learning more about this artist. We have our Grandfather’s print “As Twilight Approaches” but didn’t know anything about R.A. Fox aka: Arthur DeForest:)

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      So glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like you have a treasure:)

    I have had a favorite painting in my home for 40 years, and I just found its name and artist. Oceans Roar by R. A. Fox. All I have seen of this painting are colored, mine is sepia, which I love! Can you give me anymore infor.ation? Thank you.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Sounds beautiful! Sorry, Alice, I don’t have any more information than I’ve shared here.

    My husband was a member of the R A Fox Society and a huge collector of his prints. I am not sure how many but I know it is over a thousand, framed and unframed. My husband has passed away and I am wanting to sell his collection of Fox prints and other artist prints he collected. Please contact me if interested. Thanks

      Sounds like an amazing collection! An online auctioneer could probably help you with the sale of them. Good luck!

    I have a 1912 calendar with a print of beavers chewing on trees, by R Atkinson Fox entitled “The First Lumberman”. The painting may have been commissioned by the Beaver Lumber Company, as it was given out by the Beaver Lumber Company to its patrons in 1912. It’s in very good condition.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      That sounds like a treasure! I think I have seen that picture somewhere; sounds familiar.

  6. I have the picture with the cottage by the lake with a few ducks and 2 sheep in the grass. Think they were my great aunt’s.
    The frame is very ornate!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      That’s such a pretty one! Lucky you!

  7. I have a plaque that my mom recieved as an award from her church when she was young in 1942. It has a print of Jesus overlooking Jeruselem. I’ve always loved the muted blues and greens. It may be by RA Fox, as I found one just like it through the link you posted. My grandfather (born in 1901) must have been a fan since he also painted in the same style, with muted blues and greens.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Wow, your grandfather must have been quite the painter! I think I have that same Jesus picture; I should bring it out for Easter!

  8. I have inherited an original painting of a mountain lion signed Elmer Lewis which I have learned is one of the names R.A. Fox painted under. I’m curious to know the value.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      How cool, Heather! I enjoy the decorative value of these pieces, but honestly am not in the field of valuing antiques. Probably poking around the internet is going to be your best bet, or going to antiques roadshow;) I would think the fact yours is an original would give it more value. But it is sometimes hard to get to the right person to talk to. Good luck!

    I recently bought 2 of his framed art in AZ,at an estate sale. The man had inherited numerous antiques from an aunt who passed away. He didn’t know the value of any of her treasures, but were possibly dates back into the 1920’s. Are they worth any excess amount of $. One only,has a label in the back. It is called The Land Where the Shamrock Grows. It has 1929 written in ink. Thank you for your help

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      I honestly am not sure, Teresa. I love them more for their decor value for myself. You could check on Ebay and see what his prints are going for. Unless it’s an original painting, I wouldn’t guess “excess” amounts. I am definitely not an expert on value; decorative value is where it’s at for me:)

  10. Thanks, Fonda. I guess true art’s beauty can be enjoyed whether one knows the real artist or not! Thanks for commenting.

  11. Fonda Rush says:

    I understand why you collected that kind of art. It’s so peaceful and calm. It’s too bad you can’t identify what is Fox’s and what isn’t, but what you have shown here are all lovely and seem to have been painted by the same hand.
