Scott, it would be wonderful if you would let us all know a little more about your grandfather. Do you know where the locale was for the "No More Fishing" scene? If you ever reissue more of his prints I'm sure there are folks who would love to buy them. I would love to know of sources for prints of some of his other boating works.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry to hear of your family's loss in the fires.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-19366182236005249892007-11-13T22:05:00.000-05:002007-11-13T22:05:00.000-05:00Leif, I see the post from my cousin Tammy... my mo...Leif, I see the post from my cousin Tammy... my mother was Frank Soltesz's eldest daughter. Some of the samples you post are among the favorites for the family. Sadly, the family lost many originals recently as my mother lost her home in the recent San Diego Fires. We still have several of his pieces though, and my sister and I are embarking on a project to digitally photograph what we have and catalog them for all to enjoy. He was unique in his style, and loved by many. Thank for preserving his work. - ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-70260372469095177982007-08-19T07:05:00.000-04:002007-08-19T07:05:00.000-04:00Dear Tammy;Thanks for leaving your comment and fil...Dear Tammy;<BR/><BR/>Thanks for leaving your comment and filling in a few details about the fantastic Frank Soltesz.

He was originall...Frank Soltesz was my grandfather. He was originally a commercial artist and then he switched over to watercolor paintings. Some of my favorite work that he has done (in addition to his cutaways) is his series of Esso map covers and his Christmas card artwork. It is neat to know that his work is still apreciated and odd to think that people regard him as a man of mystery.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669011412419405012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-59118326533636010122007-05-20T13:08:00.000-04:002007-05-20T13:08:00.000-04:00I'm sorry, Leah C - this is all I have on Frank So...I'm sorry, Leah C - this is all I have on Frank Soltesz.
