Hidden Talent



Unfortunately, some of my real estate work is to settle an estate. It's not easy, especially for the family. This week I was asked to do a market analysis for the house of a Rochester area artist. There is a bay window in the dining room where he did much of his work. The palette, easel, brushes and other tools are all there ready, willing and able for the next masterpiece.

There were many sketches and paintings of familiar Rochester landscapes tucked away. I got the feeling that the family was a bit surprised by the extent and depth of this work and was glad to learn that a posthumous show is being planned.
