Thanks for thinking of me Randy. When I saw the first image, it looked familiar as I think the Lincoln Bookshop in Chicago has or had one several years ago. Rogers has a distinctive style.

Here is a link to Rogers work. Click on each one to enlarge. In the summer of 1968 I was a Harvard grad student intern at the Wasdworth Atheneum in Hartford CT. working with their sculpture collection which included Rogers groups. These like Currier & Ives prints were mass produced and could be seen in Victorian parlors throughout the country.

Here's a watercolor I did for a collector this summer.

That’s terrific. I was going to ask if you were an artist but I saw from your bio that you are.

Thank you. - It was interesting working on such an iconic face, watching him sort of ''come to life'' as the painting progressed.

Dragoon,

Man that is breath taking. I WISH I had the skill and talent to create are like that...espcially of President Lincoln.

He was the MAN.
