"Kansas River Scene"

"Kansas River Scene" was the first one done in 1875. They are all oil
paintings. I found this out in sort of an interesting way. I read that
M. C. Haywood attended the Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts, so, I
sent them off an email, figuring if he was a famous painter, or at
least decently known, the Alumni associations may have some good
records of his work, to show future students. I got a response from
Cheryl Leibold, Archivist at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and
she told me to
"Go to the website of the Smithsonian, www.si.edu, and click on the
Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and then on Art Inventories. The
Inventory of American Paintings is a data base of locations of paintings
before 1915. The Archives of American Art collects the personal papers of
artists and you can search their catalogue."
So, by doing that, I found the records of his works. Now, you know
what you have, who has the original, and how to contact them (in the
links) to find out you're value/apprasial of the painting.
And, by the way, it's a very nice painting.
Glad I and Google Answers could be of service

Buttonboy,
Hey, who knows, maybe you do have something no one knows about yet! I
would advise, like you stated, taking it to a dealer just in case you
do have something. I am glad though, we now know what the painting is
called and whatnot. Hopefully you have a diamond in the rough, but if
not, you still have a beautiful painting. Glad I could be of service
for you.
