Francis Quirk Painting at Canton Ohio Museum of Art

The staff at the Canton Ohio Museum of Art graciously pulled out their Francis Quirk painting and forwarded us a picture.  (Thank you Linnda!) It was surprixing to see the nautical subject in a collection so far from the sea. Perhaps it was painted during one of Quirk's visits to Maine.

 In an odd coincidence, I just was visiting Maritime Gloucester for the first time in 40 years and saw the Fisherman's Memorial.
