[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 15481, member: 267"][I]Abandonment issues, Arties! but Verybrad gave me directions here, so it's all good! :)[/I] I decided to buy a piece of Wilkie's work at an estate sale I'm working at. They have pieces by Wilkie and Frank Whipple. I liked her style better, but having trouble finding any information to compare the two. I know they both did miniatures of nuns in whimsical situations. I don't know who emulated who. She was born 1903 and I found articles (couldn't access them) about gallery shows for them both in late 60s in Central California and a couple easy to find auctions for her, but that's it. It looks like Whipple is still producing replicas of his work. I don't really care, I like her painting, but would like to clear up the confusion! I rarely buy expensive items at sales. To find a bargain I have to wait for the last day discount, so usually I gather a squirrel-pile and end up putting it all back, but I'm gifting myself, so I'm ok with paying their price. Nice to see this site! Thanks for any information aka thelma and shilo - two familiar names that floated up! Thanks, Brad! [ATTACH=full]3740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]3739[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
