hi

I need help. Does anyone recognize this painting? We are trying to find out who painted this and who she is? It seems she is either from verdun or point st charles.
I am hoping that someone out there can help me.
thanks so much if you can or know of anyone who can help

Heather Ryan may be able to help you out as well. You can contact her through her website:  http://hryan.com/  she is an artist from Verdun.

When we moved from Verdun to Dorval in 1956, we had an oil painting which was always above my mum and dad's bed. Was either taken while moving or lost in transit..

silver MSN said...

what kind of painting was it that you lost?

silver MSN said...

thanks so much maggie, i emailed her with the pics and she wants me to bring it to her for her to see and study it. i am going there on friday. thanks again

silver MSN said...

so sorry to hear about the lost painting. thats not good when that happens

beeaired MSN said...

Not sure what happened as we were moving..a neighbour took it,,lost on the highway,,or left on the lawn of the new home..its out there someplace..not with me tho.

maggiemck MSN said...

Beeaird, maybe if you described the painting...(do you have any idea what it looked like)...someone will "dig it up"?

silver MSN said...

maggie I am going to see heather on friday, i cant wait. I will let you know what she says and thanks again

HMMMMMMm..lets see..was only 50 years ago..there was a lady and child in a 1800 or earlier setting..they were in a living room sorta..geee..had to really shake those cobwebs out..still to this day think was stolen..

silver MSN said...

wow 50 years ago. i wish you luck in finding it. i would hate to lose something precious to me.     I saw heather today and she doesnt reckonize the artist but remembers the style in which he painted. she is sure she has seen the painting somewhere before and is going to help me try to find who it is. she is pretty sure it will come to her eventually. thanks again maggie for giving me her name. it is a start..    

maggiemck MSN said...

that's really exciting. Trying to solve the mystery will be a great adventure. I do hope you find some answers eventually.

silver MSN said...

thanks.it really it is exciting and its great to know that maybe someone can help me solve it.

silver MSN said...

I have gotten no news from her so I guess she has no idea who it is either. I really had my hopes up but no luck. I will keep posted if I find anything. thanks again for your help
