I still like writing letters as well as receiving them.

Yes, it does take time to complete a drawing, even a quick sketch like this, and then to write a letter to go along with it and then to find an envelope, postage, &c., and then take the whole assemblage over to the post office.

But I feel like I'm touching something when I do it--not dissimilar to the good feel of working soil in a garden.  And so...

Yeah. It's just what I do.

Hi there!

My husband recieved a painting from his grandmother. He absolutely adores it, and has his whole life. Its a beautiful painting, and it hangs in our dining room. I believe it is an original painting by your father. It is signed W. Reimann '76. Grandma says she acquired it in Germany. We were hoping to know a bit more about it. We live in Calgary, Alberta. If you'd like I can send a photo of it. I wasnt sure of any other way to contact you.

Hope to hear from you,

Sarah & Michael Bellamy

Hi Sarah and Michael--I have received several queries from owners of W. Reimann's work. I would love to see a photo of it--and if I can turn up the earlier ones that have been sent me, I'd be happy to pass them back to you.

W. Reimann the painter has no known connection to my father William P. Reimann. Perhaps a branch of the family that remained in Germany after 1844 (when my father's great-great grandfather came over).

Would love to be more helpful than this, but that's the extent of my information.

All best, K

    Sites I recommend

    These ones are maintained by long-time personal friends.

    William Reimann
    is a consummate artist.  There are so many images to enjoy on this site.  His carved wooden long-leaf red pine Rhinoceros (which he made for me when I was ~11 years old)  is a personal favorite.

    Starless River
    Is the U.K. based caving gear store run by serious hard-ass Tony Seddon. This link goes to the 'caves' section of the store's site--complete with alarming portrait photo of Tony ("After 7 days underground and 700m prussiking").

    The Oxford University 
    Cave Club
    Maintained by Steve Roberts, a guy who is extraordinary in so many ways, I'll just limit myself here to saying "Steve is a man who knows about motors."

    Bensozia
    John Bedell is an archaeologist, historian, and father of five living in Maryland. His blog is a fascinating grab-bag of historical, artistic, and political materials.  This entry about work and leisure gives a good example of his voice.

    Earthsign Studios
    This is Liz Manicatide (now Liz LaManche), principal at Emphasis Creative's personal art & graphics site.  I love Liz's work, panache, and aerial artistry, which leads me to-

    Flying Squirrel Consortium
    Phil Servita's site, and the place to go for custom fabricated circus equipment (either freestanding or fixed point), and aerial classes, if you happen to live in the area.

    Paul Nordberg
    Paul's site is... unique, authentic, & expressive, and pretty much exactly what I think of when I think of a website as an artform.

    Metro Bikes Trails Guide
    (St. Paul, MN)
    "Reviews and Reports on over 70 bicycle paths in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area!"
    Maintained by the tireless Seamus Flynn, and a great little site for those local to the Twin Cities area.

    Green Ivy
    I enjoy the Ukrainian/Russian artisanship on this website.

    Sites I enjoy

    I don't know these people, but I appreciate their work.

    What's That Bug?
    The title says it all.  A useful site for both the non-bug-phobic & the consummate bug-phobe.

    Margaret & Helen
    Best Friends for Sixty Years and Counting…

    Raging Grannies
    I'm not a grandmother (or raging!), but I appreciate this site.  Especially the fact-checking part.
