Featured in this lot is this oil on canvas of Native pottery vessels by Margie Jackson born 1934 and died 2021. The oil painting features a scene of two Native American pottery vessels set on a table and shows a trade beaded necklace in front of both pots. The larger pot is black and shows the reflection of the necklace in its sheen and is set with a turquoise stone set into the neck. The second looks to be an Acoma pottery olla with geometric patterns decorating the side walling. The artwork is signed in the bottom right hand corner. Margie Jackson (1934-2021) was a painter for years before she became a sculptor. Her experience at casting her creations in bronze began around 1976. Jackson lived on a farm in Yelm, Washington, but she grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. Because the range was open and cattle left on their own, they would be prey to packs of wolves and coyotes. Horses were still respected as a means of transportation and the area was plentiful with Native Americans still richly steeped in their own culture, lending to the inspiration of her work. Among her numerous awards are Best of Show-Sculpture at the Celebration of Western Art Show in Olympia, Washington and First and Second places at the 1986 and 1987 Arizona Annual Art Shows. She was commissioned to create bronze and limited-edition prints celebrating the Washington State Centennial; the city of Yelm purchased one of these pieces for installation in the City Hall. The condition of this oil painting is good with no obvious signs of damage and in good overall condition. The measurements of this oil painting are 14" x 11"
