hurricane Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I have the 38 x 19 Qorograph of The Pirate by Wyeth. It's the same captain, but he's definitely not Morgan. Morgan was quite portly, even in his younger days. And he looked Welsh, not Spanish. But the paintings are terrific. Mine hangs over the fireplace and is on my "fire - grab stuff" list... http://www.artcadeonline.com/memories/Muse...detail.asp?ID=4 -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Cpt. Alva Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 pretty cool......really dig both Wyeth, and Pyle's pirate paintings.......
