Early Antonelle Found

Recently, we were contacted by Mike Langer, an art appreciator who acquired a family heirloom long adorning his parents' home.  Surfing the web with only the signature on the bottom of the painting to guide him, he found our site and inquired.  After a couple round trip e-mails, Patrick Antonelle was able to confirm that the painting was one of his earlier works, probably dating to the late 60's or early 70's.  A still life in the style of Manet and Cezanne, one might notice a conspicuous use of a palette knife in addition to the gentle brush strokes Patrick long ago mastered.  Mr. Langer was kind enough to send files with which we proudly add to the record of Patrick's portfolio we are building up.
