Found It! Lost Painting

[oldbear58]

I found a painting I had inquired about here.  The painter was Frank B. Mayer, the painting "Independence":



This is my idealized self image while smoking.

Cool painting. How'd you find it, if I may ask?

 

[oldbear58]

It was in The Book of Pipes and Tobacco, by Carl Ehwa (1974).

Damn. I have that book, and your original query from months ago rang no bells.

I spent quite a lot of time searching for it on-line to no avail. I just stumbled across it by accident. Having read the book a bit I clearly recall the painting but could not remember the source. It may have appeared elsewhere; its a nice painting.

I also recall your request and did some searching myself to no avail.
But had no idea it looked like that, that's a great picture. Really like the colors
and the mood the painter captured in it. It relaxes you just looking at it.

You actually found a copy, that is amazing!

That is one hell of a nice painting!

He is smoking a cobwarden prototype.

Certainly looks as though he's enjoying that pipe, doesn't he!

Now that is a great painting. Nice find.

Very nice! I have to agree with Cart. It does evoke a sense of calm just looking at it.
