They appear in the 1984 book by Peter Bergh, The Art of Ogden M. Pleissner...worth tracking down used or from a library. <br /><br />I just entered grandparenthood (twice!) this past year. Looking forward to the girls being the age of your grandson.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272531311611698399.post-63187569152287867152016-05-26T08:16:16.139-05:002016-05-26T08:16:16.139-05:00Thank you, Steve!

I will be sure and look for those online. <br /><br />Great memories for his grandfather too!James Tennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875068846954381735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272531311611698399.post-81144917602601171302016-05-26T06:43:06.527-05:002016-05-26T06:43:06.527-05:00Beautiful painting.

The master watercolor artist Ogden Pleissner did a series of Portuguese windmill paintings in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the Algarve region.<br /><br />No matter what he eventually does in life, I'm guessing the times in your studio will remain a treasured memory for your grandson.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272531311611698399.post-61675409897901215892016-05-25T12:00:16.188-05:002016-05-25T12:00:16.188-05:00Yes!
