The silvered, Mexican Charro parade-style saddle was the big attraction on Day 4. The high quality, ornate saddle came with a matching sabre, sombrero and other accoutrements.

RI Chiropractors Concludes Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive for Big Brothers Big Sisters of RI

Warwick, RI, Feb 27, 2020 -- The Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island (CSRI), one of the oldest chiropractic associations in the country, concluded its Healing Hands Glove and Mitten drive to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island. Several doctors, including Dr. Victoria Malchar of Malchar Giovanni Chiropractic at 33 College Hill Rd, 30C Warwick, received an overwhelming response to the Healing Hands Glove and Mitten drive.

“Our patients are the best and we knew they would jump right in and contribute,” said Dr. Malchar.

Collections for the Healing Hands Glove and Mitten Drive began at participating chiropractor offices on December 1 and ended on January 31. Both new and gently used gloves and mittens were gratefully accepted. More than 29 chiropractors in Rhode Island are participating. Those are listed on CSRI’s website at https://www.richiro.org/.

The program was also sponsored by the Rhode Island Newspaper Group (RING), which includes 19 newspapers throughout the Ocean State. RING ran ads promoting the drive.

“As chiropractors, our entire livelihood depends on our hands so we know what delicate instruments the hands can be. To be without mittens or gloves during the frigid winter months, particularly those who are homeless, can be extremely damaging to the hands,” said Dr. Michael Zola, president of the CSRI and a chiropractic physician. “We thank all those who donated and the participating doctors who helped raise awareness about this issue among Rhode Islanders with this drive.”

To generate as many donations as possible, CSRI invited all Rhode Island chiropractors to participate, with no fee involved. Chiropractors placed donation boxes in their waiting rooms and passed out flyers to patients. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island handled collection and disbursement.

Death defying Dog Publishes Road Trip Memoir Accounting of the Fall 2016 National Mood

B.T. Frug is a 120-year-old dog and first-time author. He recounts his many life experiences in his new book, American Dog: 117 Years of Humping Around America, Including a Marvelous Journey with Johnny O’Shea, Jr.

San Antonio, TX - USA, February 28, 2020 -- B.T. Frug is a 120-year-old dog and first-time author. He recounts his many life experiences (and those of his former owners) in his new book, American Dog: 117 Years of Humping Around America, Including a Marvelous Journey with Johnny O’Shea, Jr. The book is part memoir and part travelogue, according to Frug’s former owner/travel companion and fellow author, Johnny O’Shea, Jr., who is coordinating the book’s publication. It is, perhaps, something like a roman à clef: The road trip it details is definitely nonfiction and the veracity of the rest is a mystery.

Frug—who prefers “Bandit,” his favorite name among the many he’s had over the past century—identifies as a French bulldog-pug mix and wandering mendicant. He declares early in American Dog that he’s something of an equal-opportunity hater when it comes to any kind of group and the groupthink that inevitably comes along with it. However, his begrudging affection for just about every individual he encounters shines through.

Frug is not sure why or how, but he stopped aging around three or four years old—his early twenties, in dog years—and has been itinerate ever since, avoiding suspicion by never staying with an owner or in a home for more than ten years. This supernatural amount of time has allowed Frug to pick up skills such as typing and communicating in the English language. They are skills that Frug insists all dogs are inherently capable of but do not have sufficiently long lives to master.

O’Shea, whose 2016 cross-country road trip with Frug—during which they distributed O’Shea’s own book, Back in Bloom: Rediscovering the Happiness Inside of You—is detailed in American Dog, says that Frug’s current whereabouts are unknown and that he has not heard from his old companion in several years. The two authors and former creative collaborators do not seem to identify as friends.

Frug’s manuscript is cobbled together largely from nightly journal entries typed while on the road with O’Shea. Through O’Shea, he cites John Steinbeck’s 1962 Travels with Charley: In Search of America, Anthony de Mello, and “Hemingway, Lincoln, Roosevelt (Teddy, obviously)” as influences.

Frug and O’Shea’s road trip across the Lower 48 happened over the course of Fall 2016—a crucial, charged time for America. American Dog documents the motels they stay in, the hitchhikers they pick up, the booze they share, and the unlikely relationship that develops between dog and man.

Frug’s observations are sometimes stunning, often bitingly funny, and always from a twisted, terribly clear-eyed perspective you’ve never before considered.

The author’s motives for wanting to publish the book now are not fully known, but O’Shea imagines that it might have a little something to do with mortality and sharing his unique insights while he can. Frug can die, after all, just not from old age.

Artworks by Thaulow Chihuly Edgar Payne Maqbool Hussain are in Bruneau s March 14th auction

The sale will be conducted online and in Bruneau’s gallery at 63 Fourth Ave. in Cranston, Rhode Island, USA.

Cranston, RI, USA, February 28, 2020 -- An Impressionist oil on canvas painting by Norwegian artist Frits Thaulow (1847-1906), depicting a young woman by the edge of a river with her home in Norway behind her, is an expected headliner in Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers’ Estates Fine Art & Antiques auction on Saturday, March 14th, online and in the Cranston gallery at 63 Fourth Avenue, at 11 am EST.

The painting, titled Woman by a River, has a pre-sale estimate of $15,000-$25,000. Thaulow studied art in Copenhagen with marine specialist C. F. Sorensen before going to France where he was introduced to contemporary French realism. He applied French realism to his paintings of Norway before permanently moving to France, where he mingled with French artists and became good friends with Claude Monet, effectively becoming a main link between France and Norway.

“This promises to be another exciting auction with a collective mix of fine furnishings,” said Travis Landry, a Bruneau & Co. specialist and auctioneer. He added, “If you are into 19th century arts, the Frits Thaulow and Barbedienne bust of Washington should be right up your alley. It will be exciting to see what each will reach in today’s market.”

The bronze bust of George Washington by the French metalworker and manufacturer Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892) is expected to change hands for $6,000-$9,000. The naturalistic, life sized bust shows Washington with a neutral expression and strong nose. It was cast after a model by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828). It’s a finely detailed casting with beautiful brown patina.

“Spring at Bruneau & Co. is certainly starting off with a bang,” said company president Kevin Bruneau. “Between the decorative and fine art offerings, collectors will be stomping the doors down. After last month’s Chihuly piece, I’m sure this Macchia vase will gain some attention.” He was referring to Chihuly’s two-piece art glass sculpture that brought $7,500 in February.

The piece by Chihuly (American, b. 1941) in the March auction is a Macchia vase, organic folded form, with earth tone brown and green splatter over a cream ground with yellow rim. It has an estimate of $5,000-$8,000. Chihuly is well known for his extravagant glass sculptures displayed in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and at Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle.

A watercolor painting by Maqbool Fida Hussain of a leaping white horse with open mouth draped with a green saddle blanket and carrying a flag with the image of a sun, should reach $8,000-$12,000. Dubbed the "Picasso of India," Hussain’s unique style blended folk, tribal, and mythological arts. This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and is signed by the artists' son, Shafat Hussain.

A colorful impressionist pastel painting by the American Western landscape artist Edgar Payne (1883-1947) has an estimate of $3,000-$5,000. The work depicts a shapely reflective pond between areas of lush greenery. Payne was mainly a self-taught artist except for a brief stint at the Chicago Art Institute where he painted stage sets and murals before turning to landscapes.

A modern ink drawing by the important 20th century Native American artist T.C. Cannon (1946-1978), depicting a Native American elder with a stern face formed by expressive lines, is estimated at $1,000-$1,500. Cannon attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, studying with Fritz Scholder. Cannon portrayed Indians of distant past, placed in today's world.

A color screenprint on Arches paper by the German-born American artist Josef Albers (1888-1976), titled I-S, VA 6, edition #90 of 150, should achieve $1,000-$1,500. The lithograph was published by Ives-Sillman and printed by Sirocco Screenprints (both New Haven). Albers’s work in Europe and the U.S. formed the basis of modern art education programs in the 20th Century.

Rounding out a short list of just some of the sale’s highlight lots is a large and magnificent baluster form Chinese vase with figural elephant handles decorated with a repeated geometric taotie pattern throughout. The archaic bronze vase is estimated to gavel for $2,000-$3,000.

Doors will open on auction day right at 8 am Eastern time. Online bidding will be facilitated by bidLIVE.Bruneauandco.com, LiveAuctioneers.com, Bidsquare.com and Invaluable.com, or by downloading the mobile app “Bruneau & Co.” on iTunes or GooglePlay.
