THE IDENTITY OF THE PAINTER

I received emails from a couple members of the Elsenheimer family indicating that the painting mentioned in the previous post was done by Reuthven Kill who was also known as Bud. He farmed Orangeport Orchards for many years and took up painting when he retired. He painted many pictures of Gasport scenery including many of the farms and houses in the area and a lot of the canal bank where he loved to sit and look at nature.
