My Uncle Vinnie
We will have poster prints available soon!
Though I usually don’t regale you with stories of my family (and there are some doozies), I want to share some great news with you. We have been celebrating with my Uncle Vinnie because he turned 80 years old last week AND he won 1st prize in a local art show for one of his gorgeous watercolor paintings. He is an amazing guy whose done it all. He’s a veteran of WWII, has owned 2 pizzerias, was a contractor in Palm Beach and has been painting for years. This particular watercolor is so realistic that it has been mistaken for a photograph.
In a couple of weeks we are going to be introducing you to an extensive collection of Uncle Vinnie’s work. We will also take a look at the man behind the brush. In the meantime, we would like to thank the Wellington Art Society for their support and recognition. Congrats Uncle Vinnie!!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Did your uncle Vinnie ever spend time in Pawleys Island, SC? I was given a beautiful picture of a local historic house signed “Vinnie Silvester” and was wondering if it is by your uncle.
