<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4397404, member: 6444&quot;]No secrets here. This is the only post I’ve made on this site that I’ve actually gotten three different PMs about, interested in buying. But I am a collector, not a dealer (unlike many of the frequent dealers here who only seem interested in antiques for the amount they can sell them for), and I like this piece, so I haven’t tried to work out a deal. To be fair, no one has thrown around any cash offers, just general interest, so not at all clear what the value is to them anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to what I’ve learned, one of the posts included some info that they didn’t post here, but I hope and trust they won’t be offended if I include it here:</p><p><br /></p><p>“Much of his life was spent in SD, but as you&#039;ve picked up from the other messageboard, he traveled quite a bit and was seen all over the midwest and southwest. My dad told me that he used to use big wooster style brushes on his landscape paintings, which always seemed remarkable to me considering the detail that went into them, and he could paint them very quickly. I have also been told there is a hotel somewhere in Montana that also has his paintings all over inside, though I have never been and am not certain which city. Hopefully someday!”</p><p><br /></p><p>I had hoped that I could let him know where that hotel was, but couldn’t find it. If anyone can, I’m sure he would be pleased. What I did find instead, is that he had painted murals in Duhamel trading post in Rapid City, SD. Those murals are the same subject matter as my painting, Custer’s last stand from a Native American perspective. The wall size murals were removed when the store was closed, and became part of the permanent Duhamel collection at the Journey Museum in Rapid City. There is a personal travel blog about it here: <a href="http://quinnsawesomejourney.blogspot.com/2011/06/6162011-journey-museum.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://quinnsawesomejourney.blogspot.com/2011/06/6162011-journey-museum.html" rel="nofollow">http://quinnsawesomejourney.blogspot.com/2011/06/6162011-journey-museum.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So that’s all I know, maybe new member MGKL will add some pics of her painting here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
