I have two, large paintings signed “Forrest Harrisburger”.. I’d like to sell or donate..any help?
Douglas, Forrest Harrisberger lives in Hideaway, TX. His work is highly collectible here. In fact, my husband purchased a painting for me this month for a Christmas gift. Should you be interested in donating either or both of your paintings might I suggest the Kiwanis Club here in Hideaway. Our service club here conducts two auctions each year as part of our fund raising efforts. Our larger auction, both silent and a live auction, in October is part of Lindale, Texas, Country Fest. Additionally, the ladies of Kiwanis host an annual games luncheon with an auction to benefit Hope Haven, which is a group home for foster teen aged girls in East Texas. Please contact me if you would like to discuss making a donation to Kiwanis. It goes without saying that we are a charitable tax exempt organization with and our mission is to aid the children of our community and the world. To that end we fund about $80,000 each year in scholarships. Best, Dinah Ragsdale, 903-539-7165
Did Mr. Harrisburger serve in the US Army in 1946? My father had a pencil portrait made by a member of his basic training platoon. The signature looks like Forrest Harrisburger.
I just spoke to Forrest this morning. He and Geri now live in a retirement community in Grand Prairie, Texas. Forrest confirmed that he was in basic training at Fort Bliss in 1946. He doesn’t remember your father but said he did a lot of portraits of the men he served with. Forrest is 94 years old and is in good health.
