Mark Twain Centennial Collection Available


Mark Twain and a Friend
from the Mark Twain Centennial Collection
A Large, Matted, 20x24 Mahogany Framed Print is $295.00. Without a frame the Print is $95.00. 8x10 Matted Prints are $45.00. All come with Certificates of Authenticity.

As you can see, Portrait Artist Susan Durkee, has been hard at work this winter at her studio on Mark Twain Lane in Redding, Connecticut. Susan is a huge fan of Twain's life and over the years we have become good friends. This past Monday I was in Redding exploring options for Centennial Celebrations in 1910 and I stopped up to see Susan for her input.

I was greeted with a pleasant surprise, to say the least! The print above is one example of her work to-date, there will be others showcased online in the near future. I think all Twainiacs will love what she has done for a Centennial Calendar which includes the print above surrounded by vignettes of his life in Redding. I hope to post that soon.
