<p>[QUOTE="Susan Duval, post: 2736572, member: 16600"]Hi Portable Treasures and Dawno, this is fascinating, because just this week I noticed a painting at a friends house by her great uncle, the well-known artist, EH Suydam, dated 1919. He normally did pencil drawings in NYC, Washington DC and Louisiana. I said "that looks SO familiar!" I took a photo and went home, where I compared it to a painting by my dad, engineer EJ Speca, which he did in 1940 at the age of 14 in Rochester, NY. Sure looks like the same ship as EH Suydam's and yours!! The mystery deepens. I also cannot find this painting by any of the grand masters or anyone in the past, which would mean they reproduced it. Perhaps it appeared in a "learn to paint" book back in the day?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
