During WW II, in Richmond, a man named Farrand did lovely scenic paintings using cotton tinted various colors. His paintings were sold at Thalhiemers, and my parents knew him, he gave them one, which is still in the family. We all love it. He also taught his art technique to wounded soldiers at McGuire's VA hospital there. I have been unable to find out anything at all about the man. I wrote to the guy who does a column in the Richmond TD on Richmond history, gleaned from the archives of the Richmond Times Dispatch, and he couldn't find anything about him, either. Have any of you heard of him, and have any information about him? Thanks, Nancy ------- I was never lost, but I was bewildered once for three days. --Daniel Boone To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
