This is the most beautiful painting! I feel lucky and blessed that I came across it! My husband and I honeymooned in Mo’orea and we had taken many pictures in front of this church. To find that Greg Collins painted it was such a joy! We will treasure it forever!

I was super-pleased with my photo print purchase! Like many people, I’m sure, when making online purchases there’s always just a little voice of skepticism in the back of my mind. I knew I liked the image, but had to roll the dice that it would look good in person, the frame would be adequate, etc. I must say it exceeded even my hopeful expectations! First of all, the packing was stellar. The photo print did look great in person, and the framing was WAY better than I was expecting! It was ready to go with a sturdy hanging wire already in place. Unfortunately it was a gift, so I don’t have a photo of it on my wall! I did, however, open and inspect it before wrapping it and re-shipping (in the same stellar packing!). I would easily recommend FineArtAmerica and will happily shop with them again in the future…worry free!

Artist's Description
When I see an old abandoned farmhouse, I like to imagine its former occupants. In this case, less imagination is required since it was once home to my Great-Great-Grandparents, Charles and Mathilda Lundquist, who purchased the house through a Sears, Roebuck catalog.
In a letter written to me, their grandson Gerald (Jerry) Krueger, Aberdeen, SD, fondly recalls his childhood memories of times he spent at the old place... playing "ship" on the big front porch where he was the commander, the smell of freshly baked bread and other edible delights, the front walk lined with huge groups of 4-o'clocks, lots of chickens strutting around the yard and no indoor plumbing!
At the time of writing, this house, along with only a few other scattered structures, were all that remained of a once vibrant small prairie community, Wetonka, SD
This old home has since burned down, leaving nothing but sales and fond memories.

Hi Doug~~the effort you put into your oil on canvas paintings is remarkable- you obviously have a lot of patience and talent! Your detail work is phenomenal. Your description and the family connection is really interesting to me, as well. Isn't it sad when old family homes are no longer around. However, the happy memories sure help! Thank you for your recent comment, Doug, and All the Best!

Many thanks my Friend!

You are so welcome my pleasure.

Oh Doug, what a fabulous painting! I love the selective coloring in this piece, the subtle blues in the flowers and broken shutter. Rustic wood is a favorite of mine. I love the way the trees frame the image, the broken swing, everything creating a “forget-me-not” feel to your artwork. I love your story behind the artwork, although saddened by its finish by fire. Thank you for sharing your talent with this marvelous piece. LF Janet 💕
Doug Kreuger replied:
Janet, Thank you ever so much for your warm kind-hearted comments, they are truly appreciated!

Hartmut Jager
A most touching photo and description. I is always sad when a once vibrant place falls into a joyless, woeful state. I can hear the echo of the children laughing as they happily played on the swing. I wonder what became of all the lives and dreams of the people who once lived there? Why did it fall into disrepair...
Doug Kreuger replied:
Hartmut, Thank you for your warm and endearing comment. My relatives who lived in this once-vibrant home passed away a long time ago. As with so many other small farm towns, the railroad's main line and depot were built in nearby Aberdeen (instead of Wetonka).
Stacie Siemsen
Forget me not is a perfect title...A beautiful captured image
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thank you Stacie!
Dr Pat Gehr
This image truly resonates...stories of the lives that once inhabited this now abandoned structure. I also love the juxtaposition of yesterday's abandonment with the fresh blooms of tomorrow. L/F

Dr. Pat, Thank you for your thoughtful insight, I appreciate your kind support.
