A wonderfully moody original painting by American artist Deane Galloway Keller (1940–2005). A solitary figure emerges from a sea of tobacco brown and black, loosely rendered with a wonderfully spare hand. We particularly love the unfinished face, the tiny glint of gold at the neck and the rather magnificent shoes.

Keller was an American painter, draftsman, sculptor and celebrated teacher of figurative art. The son of Yale artist and Monuments Man Deane Keller, he studied at Yale and in Florence before spending more than 25 years teaching drawing and anatomy at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts. His work is held in collections including Yale University, the Wadsworth Atheneum and the Brandywine River Museum.

Original painting in its black wooden frame. One of one, naturally.

MR. BODDINGTON WAS MY IMAGINARY FRIEND

About twenty years ago, Rebecca Ruebensaal found herself weeping in a bathroom stall at her dreaded corporate job. Desperate to make NYC rent, there was only one probable solution. She called upon her childhood imaginary friend, a globetrotting gentleman named Mr. Boddington, and started a small business devoted to paper. Her parents were dizzy with worry.

In its early years, Mr. Boddington created engraved and letterpress invitations for picky yet impeccable brides in Manhattan. Eventually the business evolved to offering hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, books and globally-sourced desk accessories, always with Mr. B's idiosyncratic perspective as the guiding muse.
