What these records tell an owner

These paintings are not a price guide. Each Frost is judged on its own subject, size, condition and history. Together they show the range of his work: the desert below San Jacinto and the snow-capped ranges, spring wildflowers and oaks in the San Gabriel Valley, the canyons above Pasadena and the slopes of the Sierra.
