<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 67374, member: 33&quot;]I don&#039;t need to show you another artist named Katherine DeSio. I&#039;m not trying to prove that there was another artist with that name. My point was that there is no evidence so far to connect these paintings with the only person by that name who is known to have been an artist. I&#039;m <i>not </i>trying to prove that they were done by anybody different. She could have been very young in 1912 and have lived into her 90s. In that case, the acrylic paint thing would be easily explained.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also was trying to indicate that the only evidence found <b><i>so far</i> </b>about the artist&#039;s life predates the 1950s when acrylic paint became commercially available. It&#039;s possible to theorize that Katherine DeSio could have done that earlier, but there is no evidence that she did. As I mentioned above, she also could have painted, say, into the 1970s and then the acrylic paint would have been very commonly used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having done a lot of genealogical research, I&#039;ve learned to never easily accept that two people with the same name are the same person. If evidence is available, it will come to light. Sometimes it takes deeper detective work. I wish you well with these paintings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
