Maxfield Parrish

Maxfield Parrish was a very well known artist in the early part of the 20th century. His illustrations were everywhere: advertising, books, magazine covers, murals etc.  When Wayne and I traveled up down the central valley of California for shows in the late 1990's we would stop at a restaurant in Mojave. They had about 30 Maxfield Parrish original prints in their dining room. We would tell the waitress we would love to buy them. Each time we were told they were not for sale. One day we came through and stopped for breakfast at this restaurant. It was still open, but there were new owners and the prints were gone.
