They are portraits of Henrietta and her husband. I’ve begged for him to let me hang them in my home, but he insists on keeping them. I would also love to see images of the paintings you have. I quick digital image would be great. Isn’t interesting how the internet has brought people together. The whole thing is fascinating.<br /><br />Send any correspondence to petchhouse at windsweptsoftware dot comGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-67377167938359165292006-11-30T19:41:00.000-08:002006-11-30T19:41:00.000-08:00I was surprised to see your site re:henrietta bann...I was surprised to see your site re:henrietta bannon. <br /><br />Her granddaughter, also named Henrietta, born 1898, was a talented young artist. Several years ago I purchased a large oil painting of her's circa 1917. She was a student and later taught at St Catherine's Academy in Springfield, Ky. <br /><br />I found a relative of HB from the site Gathering Leaves. When I contacted the author to learn more about her art career, he was surprised to learn HB had an artistic background, no one in the family had ever talked about it.<br />He did own several, I think, unsigned, dated portraits of her grandparents. We concluded they would've been early in the time frame she attended art school.<br /><br />I think the younger Henrietta may have painted your china.<br /><br />If the Gathering Leaves site is related to your family, I think you'll find it interesting.<br /><br />The author posted photos of Henrietta and her family, it was delightful to put a face with the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1124139768328037612005-08-15T14:02:00.000-07:002005-08-15T14:02:00.000-07:00I'm so jealous.

I have a set of Wedgewood plates biding their time in the basement until Steve makes our plate rack.

Those dishes would look so nice with the dark green shelf...crisp ivory or white lace....and them on top.StuccoHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608839109697874015noreply@blogger.com
