come across my story about my Great Aunt Firma Duchene Phillips
and have contacted us to let us know you have one of her paintings or to
share a memory of her or were just wondering about the current value of
some of her works. We have really enjoyed hearing from all of you and
seeing all the lovely pictures you have sent.
I am posting on this topic on my blog site for those who are
interested in Aunt Firma and her art work so that people can not only
share with us but with one another. I'll be happy to put any pictures
that you want to share of her works on the web so that you can link to
them - just email me.
I do watch for her paintings on ebay and will try to post a notice
here when someone puts up one of her paintings for auction. It has
happened a few times. It's funny - even though Benny and I have dabbled
in the antique and refinishing business for several years, I haven't
come across any of her paintings myself in antique stores or malls or
flea markets - hopefully that means people must be hanging on to them.
Thanks again and hope to hear from you!

Dear Junebug,
During the summer of either 1967 or68 my wife and I visited the Parke County Covered Bridge festival, where we saw Firma Phillips at her easel. We bught one painting then, and a week or two later visited her studio, where we bought two more paintings. If you wuld lke a photo of those paintings I would be happy to send them to you via email attachments, or I could make prints and mail them to you. Billjohn
Hi, Bill, thanks so much for contacting me. Sorry it has taken me so long to answer - end of semester was incredibly hectic (more by way of explanation than excuse). Sure I would love to see photos of her paintings if you would care to send them.
