Another Discovery
Out of the blue, I have been contacted by another collector of my father's paintings, someone I do not know, who sent me this delightful image. She did not tell me how or when she acquired the painting, but it does have a label on the back from the Boris Mirsky Gallery, once a prominent Boston venue. She and I speculate that this is a Cape Ann scene, and if anyone recognizes it more specifically, let me know!

A Discovery
An old family friend who I had not heard from in a long time recently sent me this photo. He's been living with the painting for most of his life. Mayo gave (sold?) it to his parents, probably in the late 1940's/early 1950's. It brought to mind other watercolors from that period.
