SHOW & TELL #19 - Thomas Moran Print
It's Friday again which means Show & Tell hosted by Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home. If you haven't participated before go here and read all about it. Then select the items you'd like to share with us today and post about it. Then go back to Kelli's and sign up on Mr. Linky.
What I am showing today is a very old Thomas Moran print.
This print hung on our living room wall as I was growing up and I now have it hanging in our master bedroom.
It is in the original frame. About 9 years ago I did repaint the frame the brown color it now is. The original was an ivory color. On the back of the print, written in pencil is the purchase price of $3.19! This print has to be more than 60 years old.
Thank you for letting me once again show you one of my very old treasurers.

Good mprnins Sue
I can not believe Friday is already here. Busy week. OK, now for you show and tell comment. Beautiful.(I wish you could hear me say it.)
So is your bedroom painted blue? I see what looks like a blue wall peeking from behind the picure!
I enlarged your painting and the rocks looks so realistic. I love the natural, rugged look the painter portrayed. I wonder where he got his inspiration for this one? DO you think it was a place he chanced upon once or perhaps lived near by the fantastic scenery?
How wonderful to have a painting from your childhood hanging in your home!! Beuatiful!!
Wow!!! All I can say is wow. [love it]
My show and tell is shared, if you have time, I'd love for you to drop by.

What a lovely print to have!
Oh Susan, such a wonderful painting and isn't it so much fun to have something that you remember seeing every day as a child:-) Beautiful! xox
Oops I forgot to answer your question you had left in your comment...YES I do have an autographed picture of June Allyson:-) I'll take it out later and scan it and email it to you! xox
You are so lucky to have such a treasure from your childhood home. A lot of memories probably include that picture.
Take care,
Connie
Very nice painting. It's nice that you are able to have a piece of your younger years hanging in your own home!
I love it when someone has something grew up with in their home now. What a great painting.
I've not heard of this painter, but this is a lovely print.
The painting is so lovely with the rocks, vegetation and waterfall. How fun to enjoy a family treasure for many years...
What a great item to have in your home! It's great to have keepsakes from our younger years.
What a pretty painting! Glad you have it in your home now still making memories~
I love the colors in your painting. How wonderful to have such a vintage piece..
:)
What a beautiful print. Have you ever thought to take it in and see if it has increased in value over the years?
that is so cool that you have something so visual from your childhood hanging in your own home.
this has made me think of what was hanging on the walls during my childhood. i don't remember anything from my own home but i do remember some from my grandparent's homes. there were a couple that i remember just staring at as i tried to fall asleep in their bed. i wonder what happened to them.
thanks for sharing.
That's a really pretty print and I think the brown frame enhances it nicely.
I love looking at all your very old treasures, too! How wonderful that you already know this painting from your childhood!
Susan, I finished another project this week: A new look of an antique sewing machine cabinet! We found it on ebay three weeks ago and worked on the new look over the past few days! This afternoon, I put it out on the patio! Are you curious? ;-)))) I will for sure post it on one of the next S&T's!
By the way, I guess I won't participate next Friday because we will be travelling!
Have a wonderul week-end my friend!
Best wishes from Germany,
Anita
That's a lovely print and the history that goes with it. I wonder how much it could be worth now?
Susan,
What a beautiful picture and I like that you painted the frame brown. Makes it look very rich and the colors seem very vibrant.
I really like that painting!
Susan, you always have such interesting S&Ts! That print reminds me of some my grandparents had too!
Katherine
Lovely print! Thank you for sharing!
Oh, that is beautiful, and so special that it was what you always had in your own home growing up!
I really hope to participate again in Show and Tell next week after missing these past two weeks in a row! I love Show and Tell, and wish I had more time to drop by everyone's today.
Have a wonderful weekend, Susan!
Beautiful print, I love the colors.
What a treasure. It is a very nice picture. My folks had an oil painting of Mount Shuksan. It was always on the wall. I miss it.
Beautiful picture.
I'm sure it is a treasure to you.
My parents have an old turn of the century photo hanging in their home from the late 1800's. It's hard to believe it's so old.
The only thing old in my house is DAVE, hehe.
Love the painting, Susan. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice painting!
Wow, that is really a neat painting. I love this sort of thing. I am not familiar with the artist, though.
:-) Susan
Nice artwork makes a house so much nicer. Yours is even better because of the sentiment attached!
