Good luck everyone! I've never heard of this person but there was a member back in 2011 who posted this painting and I quite like it!

Dirk Van | 4536 comments I'm sure I've seen this one before...
Certainly the young boy in the sun (could have been on a record cover, but not one I have in my iTunes library...)
ALso could've come across this when searching for the december pics...
A guess: Harrington?

Dirk Van | 4536 comments Mmm Polish... and I was thinking English...
Sorry, even with the bio no clue at the moment ;-)

Geoffrey Aronson (geaaronson) | 930 comments I am going to give up on these impressionists. I am not interested in their work for the most part. I have no interest in learning the secondary league of post, neo or simply plain impressionists. Sorry for the sour note, but I don't really like the movement. I did when I was a teen, but since then have discovered that which is more to my liking.

Connie  G (connie_g) | 456 comments I've seen this painting somewhere, but I don't know where. Since no one has guessed it in three days, I checked out a few Polish artists to find "The Strange Garden" by Jozef Mehoffer. The article I read about him said that his home was as decorative as his artwork with orchards and flowers:

Heather | 8548 comments You got it, Connie! Great research! Wasn’t he so well versed in various art forms? I would like to know more about him, I think I like his work of what I’ve seen. I’d like to check out his stained glass!

Thank you for posting that link, very informative.

I would love to see his stained glass too, Heather. He seems to like the deep vibrant colors that would work well in glass.

Dirk Van | 4536 comments Mehoffer... I admit I've never heard the name before.
But as I said I'm certain I've seen this work before. (I've been browsing record covers for the last two days on a site comparable to Goodreads but dedicated to music, to no avail)

About the stained glass, when you google "Mehoffer+stained glass" you find quit a lot of pics Heather!

here's one:



This artist and his work would have fitted fine in this month's thread ;-)

Connie  G (connie_g) | 456 comments Sometimes I see artwork when I browse through calendars and note cards at a museum, then I have no idea of where I saw it before.
