A home with its own collection.

More than 40 original paintings by my father, Colonel Joe Tye Jr., are displayed throughout the house. His work in oil and acrylic spans a wide range of subjects, styles, and settings.

Art that belongs to this place.

The paintings give individual rooms their own personality and make the house feel like a private gallery. For a buyer who appreciates that connection, the collection may be included with the purchase so that the art and the home it has helped define can stay together.

The photographs below show 14 works from the collection. Select a painting to view it at full size.
