Artist Studio: Jesse Addison Gayer on Askart.com
I now also maintain an artist listing, and an online "Artist's Studio" on Askart.com. To view my page click on the site link above and then look me up in the alphabetical artist's index under Gayer.
You may view and purchase my works there as well. One nice feature of this site's studio are the large close-up views you can get of my pieces. You may purchase pieces either through Askart, or here on Calfinearts where PayPal purchase buttons are available for each piece that is for sale.
I may occaisonally be offering paintings from other artists, both contempoary and from the past for whom I am a dealer through this fine website.
Thank you for your interest.

Ask Art.com - The Artist Bluebook
Askart.com is an essential tool for any serious collector or even student of all types of art and artists. It's basic mission is to provide a site that lists comprehenisve information about virtually every important (and many not so known) artists in the United States, and now also many from around the world.
Askart.com has biography, artist works images, major auction house records dating back to the late 1980s, auction price charts, popular topic articles, books that discuss an artist, a list of dealers for a particualr artist, a section of 'Art for Sale' on AskArt, and many other interesting features.
I would recommend Askart.com to anyone who wants to research artists, or learn more about fine art. To access auction records, along with auction images, and some other features, one must subscribe or pay a one time fee. I personally subscribe, paying about $20 monthly for unlimited access, but there is much to be learned even without subscription.

The Irvine Museum
The Irvine Museum is located in Irvine, CA. It is just a ways off the 5/405 Freeway (Jamboree Road offramp) on Von Karman Avenue, near Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and the art colony of Laguna Beach in Orange County, CA. Founded by Joan Irvine Smith, it's main mission is the exhibition and promotion of Early California Art. It has an extensive collection of this art.
Exhibitions are changed every four months. It also has a book store, with a large selection of books, some videos, and stationary on Early California Art.
It's shows are free to the public, and parking is validated. I have gone to most shows over the last few years, and am never disappointed.
