Great hub, I watched the TV programme the other night about the painting. Than;ks Penny, Phew! As you say, the painting was salvaged from a dumpster. Regardless of what legal decision will ultimately be made in the case, Simon Murray is a spoiled little weasel who seems to think that inherited money and fancy words hides his low character. Children Under a Palm (or sometimes Children Under a Palm Tree) is a water colour painting by Winslow Homer. Home to the Blakes. If I were written of, as these Murray's are written of, I would be so very ashamed. But Edith was a well-known, accomplished watercolorist who did very detailed renderings of the flora and fauna of the Bahamas, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Homer did do the sketch, but Edith Blake completed it.
We have wealthy relatives who you would not believe would have done the most appalling things to a 90 year old. Family obviously think that they could treat her the way they like since they have the money and status. No HTML is allowed in comments, but URLs will be hyperlinked. From what I gather, Selena has moved on and purchased a pub. As for your painting, that must be so frustrating. After colonial service in Jamaica and Hong Kong, the Blakes retired to Myrtle Grove in Youghal, County Cork, Ireland. A legal battle still rages, between the peasantry and the aristocracy. The Blakes are entitled to nothing. Was the painting reported as stolen at the time it supposedly went missing? It's a page turner indeed. It is a shame that an agreement - say 50/50 - could not have been achieved - thereby saving a lot of legal fees and stress. I watched this today. Simon Murray, a lawyer, had the gall to malign the people who found it on the rubbish heap and rescued it, by saying he knew they were hoping to use the money for swimming pools and motor cars. Schorer said that the Blake family never pressed its ownership claim in the New York courts and no longer has the right to do that, so he should get the painting. [4] Sotheby's were told that the family had no record of owning a painting by Winslow Homer. Thanks as always. Here is how this is easily resolved, the wisdom of Soloman.
In 1987, the painting, along with a work by Lady Blake and other material related to the Blake family, was found by Tony Varney while fishing in Ireland. Just over a year later, the Blake family allege that they have found documents, letters that mention the party that the children had gone too, and the description of the clothes they were wearing in the Painting. I take umbrage with Simon Murray’s comments accusing Selina of wanting the money to buy a swimming pool and cars while he’s the one saying he needs the money for renovations! thanks again, and have a great weekend, nell. We saved it. She was on holiday, and just happened to find it when she was looking for something in the said paper! Sotheby's. For all we know the original owners could have thrown it all out when cleaning out the house. Its a weird situation Paul.

What pigs those people are. Why can they keep a urn that they found and Selina can not keep a picture her family rescued?

It's also amazing that this has been in limbon for so many years-Salina's kids are all grown and though college now, ostensibly what the proceeds would have been for.

TV's, sofa's, chairs and broken pieces of rubbish that they no longer want. But Selina held onto her dignity by not responding. Thanks Pardelope, I believe its out of her hands now, which I am sure she is really pleased!
What pigs those people are. Why can they keep a urn that they found and Selina can not keep a picture her family rescued? They did the right thing but the real mystery is how did they come to be there? I know where these lot are going. it certainly is an on going interesting story!

Thanks FF yes I totally agree with you, but luckily if you read near the bottom it worked out okay. So they set out to try to track down it's History.
It is only when the item was VALUED that an interest and family need to own it was established. Fascinating story.
We all felt sorry for her, but now it seems things have turned out okay, lol! [4][7] Tom Christopherson, European General Counsel for Sotheby's,[8] said that the Murrays were contacted by Sotheby's, as part of routine due diligence, prior to the auction. To be honest I never really noticed the tone of Penny's remarks I just presumed she knew her. no wonder its still stuck at Sotheby's! In November 2013, a new claimant for ownership of the painting emerged. They stated that as it was a family piece then it should automatically come back to the family. Evidently they claim that it had been in their family for generations, and had been stolen years ago. And no its still not been resolved.
My personal belief is that either the Blakes who live there now, had the house cleared out, and all the rubbish was taken to to rubbish dump.
So surely the law just has to decide whether if you throw something away, have you a claim to it now? lol! Local knowledge. "The fact is that the Painting ended up in the Rubbish dump somehow. " thanks, that sounds interesting!
If you read down the page, the answer is there. I cannot stand or bear a mean spirit...... Selina, if you read this, get to mediation, put this xxxxx behind you.. Just came back to say I have been looking it up and realise that this news is out there on the internet so I can add it here, thanks again, nell, Hi Penny, thanks for clarifying it. On top of that she can charge a 30 percent finders fee of the valuation of the painting. It is always, but always, those who have it who want more. Thanks Penny, Yes you are right, if it all goes wrong then she will be in big trouble, sorry if you were upset at angiii's comment, I appreciate your writing and letting me know, nell. "Finders keepers" does not apply in all situations or jurisdictions. Thanks for reading. Ignored Sotheby's advice it would be sold.
Great hub, I watched the TV programme the other night about the painting. Than;ks Penny, Phew! As you say, the painting was salvaged from a dumpster. Regardless of what legal decision will ultimately be made in the case, Simon Murray is a spoiled little weasel who seems to think that inherited money and fancy words hides his low character. Children Under a Palm (or sometimes Children Under a Palm Tree) is a water colour painting by Winslow Homer. Home to the Blakes. If I were written of, as these Murray's are written of, I would be so very ashamed. But Edith was a well-known, accomplished watercolorist who did very detailed renderings of the flora and fauna of the Bahamas, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Homer did do the sketch, but Edith Blake completed it.
We have wealthy relatives who you would not believe would have done the most appalling things to a 90 year old. Family obviously think that they could treat her the way they like since they have the money and status. No HTML is allowed in comments, but URLs will be hyperlinked. From what I gather, Selena has moved on and purchased a pub. As for your painting, that must be so frustrating. After colonial service in Jamaica and Hong Kong, the Blakes retired to Myrtle Grove in Youghal, County Cork, Ireland. A legal battle still rages, between the peasantry and the aristocracy. The Blakes are entitled to nothing. Was the painting reported as stolen at the time it supposedly went missing? It's a page turner indeed. It is a shame that an agreement - say 50/50 - could not have been achieved - thereby saving a lot of legal fees and stress. I watched this today. Simon Murray, a lawyer, had the gall to malign the people who found it on the rubbish heap and rescued it, by saying he knew they were hoping to use the money for swimming pools and motor cars. Schorer said that the Blake family never pressed its ownership claim in the New York courts and no longer has the right to do that, so he should get the painting. [4] Sotheby's were told that the family had no record of owning a painting by Winslow Homer. Thanks as always. Here is how this is easily resolved, the wisdom of Soloman.
In 1987, the painting, along with a work by Lady Blake and other material related to the Blake family, was found by Tony Varney while fishing in Ireland. Just over a year later, the Blake family allege that they have found documents, letters that mention the party that the children had gone too, and the description of the clothes they were wearing in the Painting. I take umbrage with Simon Murray’s comments accusing Selina of wanting the money to buy a swimming pool and cars while he’s the one saying he needs the money for renovations! thanks again, and have a great weekend, nell. We saved it. She was on holiday, and just happened to find it when she was looking for something in the said paper! Sotheby's. For all we know the original owners could have thrown it all out when cleaning out the house. Its a weird situation Paul.
