Natasha,
first and foremost, congrats on a well detailed and informative
website!! ( . . .) [It's a] coincidence that you live in Kansas City,
Mo. because one of my other favourite paintings is owned by your
city-based Hallmark Card Co. (entitled Frankfort Beach, Jamaica) by
none other than Sir Winston Churchill who happened to copy 2 famous
paintings by JSS. They were Wineglasses
(1875) and Ruined Cathedral Arras (1918) - owned at that
time by their mutual friend Phillip
Sassoon. The copies are remarkably done; worth checking out.
You can see the copies in the new book "Winston Churchill, his life and paintings"

Wow, yeah
Hallmark Cards headquarters is just a couple of miles away. I’ll have
to see if
they have any of this on public display
I
have
seen some of Churchill’s paintings in Fulton Missouri (where he made the
“Iron Curtain”
speech) they have a museum about him and even part of the Berlin wall at Westminster College. His water colors are
wonderful!
