Third page of paintings by Werner Heckenbach of Wiesbaden
The gallery continues to grow. This is the third page of paintings by Werner Heckenbach.
NEW -- (August 2009). Karen who lives in Florida sent this picture of painting #15. Karen's uncle was a US Prisoner of War in Germany for 15 months. After the war he traded cigarettes for several of Werner's paintings. He brought them back to New Jersey. This one bears the date 1948. He gave it as a wedding present on August 31, 1950. Two of Karen's aunts have paintings too, both similar to paintings #11 and #14.

New -- (November 2009). Tina contacted me because her parents in California own one of Werner’s paintings, dated 1948. Her aunt and uncle brought it to them from Germany about 1949. They all love the painting, and it has hung in their living room since the day they received it. Tina said they all enjoyed seeing Werner's other paintings, and she was kind enough to send this picture of her parents holding Werner's painting #16.

New (May 2010)
Barbara of Minnesota sent this beautiful picture of painting #17 that Werner painted of her while her father was in the military and stationed in Weisbaden in the early 1950s, or else from a photograph her father sent by mail after he returned. He painted one of her and one of her sister. Her parents were friends with Werner.
New (July 2010)
Rose Maria of Washington is Barbara's sister, and she sent a picture of painting #18 as a companion to #17 above. I'm really happy to be able to show both pieces together. She thinks hers was painted around 1946-49 since that was the time her father was stationed in Wiesbaden.
