We were pleasantly surprised to receive an email from antiques and decorating guru Bob Richter. He had found a Francis Quirk painting in an antiques booth and sent us an image of it in situ.
Bob graciously sent us a link to his page and when we landed there we saw some old friends.
In the upper left hand side, we saw his image of an antique booth which prominently featured Quirk's painting of two boys with one holding several gladiolas.
We had first seen this painting when a collection of Quirk's paintings and drawings were auctioned off in Maine in 2016. At the time we loved the painting as the flowers really "popped," and the boys were well executed. We were unable to identify the boys.

We have seen a few of the works from that liquidation event turn up in various places including a New Jersey auction and an antiques event in upstate New York.
