John M. Roderick (1877–1960) Oil on Masonite — Parrot Painting, Signed, Gilt Frame
Colorful oil on masonite painting by John M. Roderick (1877–1960), an American painter, muralist, decorator, and designer active in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The composition features a striking parrot with vivid blue and orange plumage, perched among branches against a softly hued background with fruiting foliage. Signed by the artist at the lower left, the work reflects Roderick’s background as a mural painter, where bold forms and lively color harmonies played a central role in his artistic expression.
Roderic is noted in American art references for his dual practice in easel and decorative painting. The painting is presented in a giltwood frame with black striations and red bole accents, enhancing its vintage charm.
