Message:: [QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 125182, member: 878"]Thanks again, ladies. I really appreciate it. Not being disrespectful, but I have seen those before. Also no disrespect to his daughter either, but her home was more like an art gallery. Not a room on the first floor had space for another piece of art. Though they did sometimes rearrange when a different piece came in. One large one is a US General. Not sure which one, but it was Bob's commissioned work that wasn't accepted and he painted a new one. His wife also had such a one in her living room. With my tired mind I can't recall who, but a lady. Bob's wife Gail was famous on her own. A ballerina under Balanchine. It was amazing to watch this 80 year old tall lady bend over and put her palms flat on the floor, keeping the knees straight. She had played with art in their studio, upstairs in their large converted barn. I have one of her early pieces received as a gift and one I couldn't resist at the estate sale. A 35x21 oil on board of a cabbage. She did become quite good at it and displayed and sold while spending summers in her beachfront home in Amagansett.[/QUOTE]
