While cleaning out a closet I came across a
small (5 x 7) watercolor landscape bearing the signature D. F. Bigelow. In
checking the internet to see if there might possibly be information on this
artist I came across your web pages. The signature seems the same and the
subject matter appropriate to your examples of his work. I'm sending you a
scanned picture of the watercolor to see what you think.
