****Van H. Treat Artist Bio:

Van H. Treat was born in San Francisco in 1941. He attended California College of Arts and Crafts and also studied at the prestigious Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. He was only one of five, in his class of 28 students, to graduate with a B.F.A. He spent the next 17 years as a professional, in the areas of research and industrial photography. His watercolor artistry began as a hobby around 1976, then became his full-time passion by 1985. The strong art community and the desire to operate his own gallery is what attracted him to move to Gatlinburg with his wife Fannie.

Van paints almost strictly from his own photographs using the dry brush watercolor technique. Unlike traditional watercolor, the dry brush technique requires maximum concentration as there is no room for accidents. Each piece is skillfully planned out ahead of time with a detailed drawing rendered first. From there, it is transferred to watercolor board. It’s a slow and tedious medium, and he does a lot of glazing for rocks and weathered wood and proceeds to “lift off” the color to achieve the realistic texture. It is not uncommon for him to even use the wrinkles in his hands to create texture in rocks and tree trunks.

His works have been compared to such greats as Andrew Wyeth and Eric Sloan. It is said Van H. Treat “…is an artist who invites you to walk through his woods, meander up long deserted pathways, pull up a rock, and sit beside a running stream. There is no illusion here. His places are real…very real”.

New Online Auction - Four Important Art Pieces

We are pleased to offer these four important art pieces which will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price. This is certainly a rare opportunity to purchase any one of these art pieces as a nice addition to your collection. 

Puryear Mims (1906-1975) was born in Nashville to a distinguished Southern literary family and he earned an English degree from Vanderbilt University. In 1930 he travelled the Southern rural communities meeting farmers and coal workers, which inspired his carvings. His works can be seen all around Nashville. We are very honored to have one of these carvings from what we believe is attributed to Puryear Mims. 

Mark Carson English is an abstract expressionist artist known for his exceptional ability to capture the energy, movement and expressions of his subjects. Many of Mark’s paintings depict personal memories from his childhood. 

He was born in Tennessee and spent many years in the Middle Tennessee area. At the age of 7, he was introduced by his father to an acclaimed artist named Adomo and was inspired by Adomo’s passion and love for art and beauty. He would later receive the nickname “lil” Marko and thus, will sometimes sign his name as "Marko" on his paintings.

He is represented by established galleries and art dealers across the country.

Join us for inspection on Tuesday, November 10th at Goodlettsville Antique Mall located at 213 North Main Street in Goodlettsville from 11 to 2pm. Please remember to wear your mask.

Works From the Private Collection of Paul Harmon Auction

Important message from Patti Baldini: Our building was destroyed by  the devastating tornado on March 3rd. However, over the course of the next 6 days, we managed to save quite a few key pieces of the artwork in this auction including the Bald Eagle painting signed by the seven astronauts of the Columbia. 

Franklin, Tennessee native Paul Harmon has hired us to sell art works from his private collection. Harmon is a Tennessee treasure with works on display across the world.

Our most prominent artwork piece is an original acrylic on paper. In 2003, before the launch of the ill-fated Columbia STS-107, Paul Harmon was asked to create an art image to commemorate the mission. We are selling the original and historic rare painting all of the astronauts signed before the Columbia disaster on February 1, 2003. This is an important offering not only because of its historic significance, but also because it survived the tornado. 

Perhaps Paul said it best:

 "My work is a personal journal of my life. It is therefore both serious and frivolous. Joyous and melancholic. Spiritual and erotic. The continuity is in the fact that it tracks a real life" 

You can find his books Crossing Borders and Inner Voices online. We are selling an autographed copy of each book in our auction, which also survived!

Nashville Tornado - March 3, 2020

The Nashville tornado was devastating and unforgiving for so many families and businesses across the Middle Tennessee area. Baldini Auction Company was no exception. Our building was hit by an EF3 tornado and was a complete loss; however, we’re very lucky no-one was in the building when the tornado hit.

Click on this link to watch the video of the destruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-nLL2nQfLk&feature=youtu.be

On a personal note, I felt very devastated, displaced and in disbelief. My first image of the devastation was from this video my son-in-law shot. I was in shock. Other than my wonderful and loving family who will always come first, my business is my life-blood. I was completely humbled by all of the love and support from my customers, clients, friends and auction family who reached out to see if I needed help.

As soon as we could access the property, I took two of my fellow auctioneers, James and his son Joe Spencer along with Richard who works for a dear past client, to the site. These men were tossing cinder blocks like I toss sticks and they never complained. They were truly my super heroes and I can’t thank them enough. Even through my tears they kept my spirits high. After some time, they created a walkway for me so I could safely navigate the area and identify salvageable items. We did manage to save some important files and some other items belonging to other consignors. We drove away with three truckloads and called it a good day.

The next day, my girl squad of Marie, Mary Francis and Cyndi rescued more items. I couldn’t keep them away and I am thankful for their persistence and hard work. We safely rescued more items I never thought I would see again. To read the blog post about this event, go to our Auctionville Blog tab, or click here.
