“Free at Last”

I bought this print at a yard sale about 35-40 years ago because it made me smile and think of Mart; it was a few years after I left him.

Free at Last

It hung in our entry for at least three decades. It continues to hang in our home we moved into three years ago.

He was freed finally, January 12, 2024. I am sad about that.

This print has a history much to my surprise! I decided to look up the tiny signature on it and discovered that it was once a very popular print. Maybe it still is. The artist was Byron Fish. He died about 30 years ago.

Interestingly, “Dorothy” seems to claim that she painted it. This note appears on the back…

Mart’s mom was a Dorothy but I doubt it was her making that claim.

Here is something she did make!

Mart & his sister about 1950.❤️
