Thanks for that link to this fantastic collection. As both a Montgomery 15 owner and an oil painter (once full-time, then I had to start paying bills), I find the work displayed to be extraordinary. Wonderful expression of light, and realistic veracity in the vessels and the environment. In another "thread," some are recounting a just-completed sailing adventure in the Apostles on Lake Superior. Those close enough to have taken that in are close enough to check out a fantastic maritime art museum in Winona, Minnesota. A ton of dough put into a swell museum on the west bank of the Mississippi, in a rivertown, with maritime artwork and artifacts of surprising caliber. Check it out at: http://www.mnmam.org/ Maybe there's a niche for paintings of Montgomerys asea. Or at least one or two, to be added to the sail/sale-able gallery offerings. ************** Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
