Rare Original Jim Harrison Coca Cola Paintings!
Denmark, SC native Jim Harrison is a legend in the world of realist art, from showings in luxurious New York and San Francisco galleries to popular published works, and is equally well-known for his iconic perennial illustrated calendars and prints on behalf of Coca Cola.
Jim's art career began in the 1940s, when he apprenticed with advertising painter J.J. Cornforth, rendering Coca Cola (and other company) trademarks on the sides and rooftops of old barns and country stores, some faded examples of which can still be seen in small Southern towns. Like Campbell Frost (the two respected artists were friends for many years), Jim specialized in paintings featuring classic rural settings as well as superb works depicting coastal scenes.
Jim's expensive signed prints are now highly collectible, and widely traded in antique stores, and online, and remain extremely popular. Because of Jim's close friendship with Campbell Frost, we've made arrangements with his estate to offer select original Jim Harrison Paintings. This is your very rare opportunity to own one (or more) of Jim Harrison's hand-rendered works of art! If you're a longtime Coke memorabilia fan, you'll recall (as noted above) that Jim painted the official Coca Cola calendars (released at Christmastime each year) for decades.

Most of the paintings Jim created with the company's iconic logo were sold to a single collector for, what local media reported, was a seven figure price. While we can't confirm that, we do know that Jim's longtime association with the soft drink giant is unique.

The first, and largest on offer [seen at the top of this page], features a classic scene of Americana, depicting a country storefront with a Coke vending machine, and the logo twice.

We're excited to announce that we've just acquired two original paintings by late "Dukes of Hazzard" actor and director James Best. Known to most viewers for his role as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on the popular TV series, Jewel Franklin Guy, better known as James Best, was also featured on many classic programs such as The Andy Griffith Show (where he portrayed stubborn guitar-playing townsman Jim Lindsey, in two episodes), Perry Mason (with Raymond Burr, also twice), Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone, The Rifleman, The Fugitive, and many more. He also had featured roles in dozens of film classics such as Winchester '73, and Shenandoah (both with acting legend James Stewart), Abbot and Costello Meet the Invisible Man, Seven Angry Men, and The Cimarron Kid.
Many fans know that Jimmie (as his friends knew him) was also an acting teacher, with students among the Who's Who of Hollywood, but few realize that he was also an accomplished painter. Once telling reporters that he fell in love with painting while in High School, many of his original works have appeared in galleries over the years, and limited edition prints, many featuring "The General Lee" (the iconic 1969 orange-colored Dodge Charger from "Dukes"), and some of his landscape pieces, sell for $200, each.
Born in Greenville, Kentucky, in 1926, James Best served in WWII before beginning his acting career. After retiring, he lived on the shores of Lake Murray, South Carolina (not too far from Campbell Frost's home, in Columbia) for several years, before ultimately relocating to Hickory, North Carolina, where he died, at age 88, in April of 2015.
Neither of the James Best paintings currently in our collection (seen above) are titled, but one features a brightly colored garden behind a picket fence, and the other, an abstract flower image, features bold splashes of bright orange and yellows set against deep greens, purple, and muted blues. Both pieces feature heavy impasto accents, and are signed on both the front and worn paper backings. On the rear of each, the artist signed as both James Best and "Rosco." The pieces are priced at $2,500, each. A quick visit to the artist's website will show that all of his original works have now been sold.

Three original wartime drawings by Marvel Comics Artist Bill LaCava
Pen and pencil on paper. These pieces measure, individually, 8.5 x 11 inches in size
Priced at $2100
Three original wartime drawings by Marvel Comics Artist Bill LaCava
Pen and pencil on paper. These pieces measure, individually, 8.5 x 11 inches in size
Priced at $2100
These original untitled drawings, signed, dated, and inscribed by artist William Morse (Bill) LaCava were created in the field shortly after NAZI Germany surrendered in WWII. Each depicts life of the soldier (LaCava held the rank of Corporal in the U.S. Army) during the period, and handwritten annotations describing the individual scenes.
Bill LaCava was the only child of famed film director Gregory LaCava (who helmed such Hollywood classics as "My Man Godfrey," "Stage Door," "The Age of Consent," and the controversial "Gabriel Over the Whitehouse"). The Senior LaCava, like his son, began his professional life as an artist, first rendering newspaper cartoons, then going to work as an animator for Walter Lantz (creator of Woody Woodpecker), before moving on to a successful career as a director of live action films in the 1930s.
After leaving the Army, Bill LaCava went on to work as a comic book artist for Iger Studios, Atlas (and finally) Marvel Comics, where he worked with Stan Lee. The Marvel database lists LaCava as a cover artist, creator, penciler, and inker. His work appeared (among others) in publications like "Sports Action," "Strange Tales," "Adventures in Terror," and "Battle." These unusual museum-worthy pieces are hand drawn on non-archival paper the artist had at hand, and are nicely mounted in a 18 x 36 inch frame. The third drawing sustained a tear in its center, the tear doesn't affect the overall image, and might be repaired by a qualified art restoration specialist. More detailed images of each drawing are available upon request.
After leaving the comic industry, Bill LaCava became an ad agency art director. He died in 1991.
These nicely framed pieces of comic and wartime art history are available for $2,100. Additional photos are available upon request. If you reside in the Southeastern United States, notify us if you'd like to view this (or any work listed on this site) in person.

Original Painting by Renowned Wildlife Artist Karl E. Karalus
Unusual and unpublished piece by Audubon-affiliated artist

Acrylic on canvas. This piece measures 24 x 36 inches in size (excluding frame)
Priced at $11,000
This acrylic on canvas was painted by Karl E. Karalus in the 1990s. The painting is beautifully framed and mounted. Born in November of 1929, Karl Karalus worked as an engineer for Minneapolis and Saulte St. Marie Railroad for 23 years before leaving the profession to pursue his true love of painting, on a full-time basis, in 1971.
He would become affiliated with the popular Mutual of Omaha "Wild Kingdom" television program, and served as the illustrator of numerous books on birds, collaborating with the likes of respected Audubon authors David Maehr and Herbert Kale. Karl illustrated at least eight books, and co-authored three more.
His best-known published works are Owls of North America (Doubleday, 1974), The Wading Birds of North America (Doubleday, 1981), Florida's Birds (Pineapple Press, 1990), and Parrots of South Florida (Pineapple Press, 2007). He also provided illustrations for an adventure story, Wild Season (Little, Brown, and Company, 1967).
The artist specialized in painting birds, which makes this piece very unusual. This painting, one of Karl's larger known works, features a pair of moose encountering a trio of Ruffed Grouse on a snowy afternoon. The piece was commissioned for the man who framed it, and has (as yet) never been published nor displayed in a gallery.
Karl Karalus retired to North Carolina, and was laid to rest in Kissimmee, Florida, upon his death in 2013.
We have several smaller framed and unframed bird images by Karl Karalus, in a variety of mediums. Two copies of Karl's better-known books will convey with this sale. As always, the piece can be delivered for your personal inspection anywhere in the Southeastern United States. Enquire on our CONTACT page for details, or to see other paintings by Karl Karalus.
This large, beautifully framed, and very rare piece of wildlife art perfection (along with two of Karl's out-of-print books) is available today for $11,000. Additional photos are available upon request; if you reside in the Southeastern United States, notify us if you'd like to view this (or any work listed on this site) in person.
