I'm also delighted that you have one of the Bard paintings in your collection...The Hudson River would not have received it's visual grandeur had it not been for the steamboats and photographers who documented these vessels. It was not just the early artists that contributed, but the photographers which assisted my works to be the forerunner of steamboat models in the State of New York.<br /><br />The models are the final signature to our maritime culture which was very much diverse. The task wasn't easy for me, but I persevered to get to this level by not rejecting history and its biases; but by going after truth. All the more reason serious collectors acquire what I do.<br /><br />Again, thank you for acknowledging truth.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!rex-stewart.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133913483684475749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457875414469534632.post-31368173648733937662019-12-24T12:43:01.342-05:002019-12-24T12:43:01.342-05:00First, I'd like to thank you for your hard wor...First, I'd like to thank you for your hard work and determination to rebuild and further educate future generations. This majestic giant oil painting hung at my Great Grandmothers house as long as I can remember. After her passing, I recieved it with great enthusiasm! Especially after researching and reading your blog. Knowing that a great man of honor and color owned and operated the steamboat reminds me, that by working together, United, our Country can and will Persevere & carry on to higher grounds. Nearing 50,I'm installing these same values into my children. May you go far in All you do. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800208362290833283noreply@blogger.com
