VIEW IN MY ROOM
Gone but not forgotten! This painting was completed sometime in the seventies. I painted lots of Oil Landscapes of the Washington Crossing area, Canal, and across the river. It is an Oil Painting on Canvas of the Prison Quarry on River Road in New Jersey. I liked the image so I kept it for my own viewing pleasure. In the nineties I was working for United States Steel as a Training Coordinator. The Oil Painting was hanging on the wall in my office. A very good Friend of mine (Arthur "Bud" McDermott) from the production unit I worked for many years stopped in my office to announce his retirement and shake my hand one last time. Bud was a true friend! When I asked him where the retirement party was to be held, he smiled. No party :( I looked over Bud's head at the Oil Painting of the Prison Quarry. I asked him to stand, and then removed the painting from the wall and handed it to him with a smile and said " Enjoy this memory for many years". He could hardly control his emotions. That was a reaction I didn't expect. On my side it felt great to treat someone the way I would want to be treated. With dignity, respect and fellowship for the many years we worked side by side. Bud gave one last embrace and left with the Oil Painting. I never saw or heard from him again. The story doesn't end there ;) A few weeks ago I received an IM on Facebook from someone I met at a dinner party at a patrons house. Apparently Bud's painting landed in a Langhorne Thrift Shop. "Ooooh the HUMANITY" Not exactly where I want my Original Oil Paintings to be exhibited. It does get worse ;( When I asked how much was paid for the Oil Painting I was floored! Let's just say it tooooo low to mention the actual price. The purchaser was thrilled I was embarrassed. Well at least it wasn't thrown in the trash. Lucky for me the new owner was familiar with Fine Art and local Artists. It's not their first find. The owner agreed to allow me to photograph the Art and place it on my web sites. They are also willing to sell the Oil Painting to help pay their child's College tuition. Hope you like it.
