FS: Antique oil landscape painting by listed artist in Victorian frame
by janet jai 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

This is an oil painting by Ruthven Holmes Byrum (1896-1958). He was an Indiana painter who also painted in the Smokies. Framed, this painting is app. 23-1/2" x 15-1/2". The painting is under glass so I had to photograph it flat to capture the image, which I don't think does it justice. It is a lake with waterfalls in the front and mountains in the background. I am not sure if it is a real scene or not but it is calming to look at. It could use some cleaning but I have enjoyed it as it is. The frame is a veneer but very nice and so Victorian even though the painting itself had to be painted in the early 20th century. $100 janet jai 412-661-8147

I love cooking on a Tuesday night! Said no one ever.

Hi Neighbors! Pittsburgh CAPA's Instrumental department is hosting a fundraising dinner at 7 pm this Tuesday, January 19 at Mad Mex in Shadyside. The cost is $40 and includes appetizers (wings and endless chips and salsa), dinner (burrito bar with chicken, steak and Portobello mushroom options), a drink (a beer, or a margarita, or a soft drink), and dessert (cookies and Mad Mex's killer brownies). The tax and gratuity are included. What a deal! As part of the festivities, there will be a few students from CAPA to entertain you with their musical stylings. Don't miss your chance to come out and support a future rock star, jazz impresario or symphony soloist. There are a ton of kids in the neighborhood who are students at CAPA, so you'd be enriching your local economy, as well. :) You can contact me directly at this email address, or at mmaione24(a)hotmail.com<mailto:mmaione24@hotmail.com>. You can also use the contact information on the attached flyer. Hope to see you there! Marylinn
