GREEN WORKS 3 . . . HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY*

Grandpa Nelson, Watercolor, 15" x 11.5", Richard J Van Wagoner, Courtesy of Van Wagoner Family Trust**

As mentioned in my last blog post, my father’s 87th birthday would have been March 14, 2019. His intellectual and creative legacies as revealed in his art provide some solace for his absence. Please enjoy seven of his paintings here. And thank you to the Irish for helping make America an increasingly diverse melting pot.

*My brother the very talented fiction writer and novelist, Robert Hodgson Van Wagoner, deserves considerable credit for offering both substantive and technical suggestions to lastamendment.com

*My daughter Angela Moore, a professional photographer, photographed nearly 500 pieces of my father’s work. On behalf of the Van Wagoner Family Trust, she is in the process of compiling a collection of his art work. The photographs of my father’s art reproduced in lastamendment.com are hers.
