  1. I have a painting of my uncle by Joseph, but I know very little about him. Can you tell me who the person in the picture above is?

    1. It is a picture of Norwegian dr. Wennesland and his monkey and chihuahua. Or so I'm told. The painting is hanging at a school in Norway. Wennesland gave his art collection to his old school. I might be wrong:)

    2. I knew your Uncle Joseph St Amand. I have 2 of his paintings. He was good friends with my mother in San Francisco in the 60’s and 70’s.
