RANDOM ROSEMALING POST
well, as Bruce said. it looks like the LS Lynse is because of this man. a norwegan who immigrated over to WI in 1907. a wagon painter who because of the depression, started rosemaling for money and began the rebirth of the traditional art in America. so, thanks to the depression, this man created and is now reveared.
and i may have just taken his work by chance. and the antique dealer was smart enough to take it himself whenever he did. oh, the happy accidents of life.

Thanks for finding that Pansy! The picture ties the artist and plate together in my mind, and he looks prosperous enough to keep a fair stock behind him in BOTH pictures. Looks like your plate 3rd from bottom on the left, LOL. Also explains the slightly "old" version of the written Norwegian he painted, known today as "Gammel Norsk", or Old Norwegian. Just trendy enough to be collectible, obviously. Here's hoping for a big finish price on eBay, betcha got a lot of watchers!
