Cedar Creek Presbyterian Church 1987 MEJP Postcard

Cedar Creek Presbyterian Church 1987 MEJP Postcard ... A good example of American Folk Art. ... Artwork oil painting by my Great Aunt Margaret Enid Johnson Porter 1987. Her son, my dad's first cousin, Len Porter, gave me his permission, as follows here ... first for the Talle Farm painting, then, later, for her other paintings he posted on the facebook Johnson Family group chat. "Dear Mark. Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for being in touch. We do own the Talle/ Talla painting. This email provides non-exclusive rights for you to promote, sell, or otherwise adapt and print reproductions of the painting including, but not limited to zazzle. The name Margaret Enid Johnson Porter or MEJP as artist should be used at all times either with the image or if not artistically possible with the promotion. The more attention for MEJP the better. I’ll follow up with more comments from your email but I want you to know i appreciate your interest in our mother, your great aunt as an artist. She dearly loved your grandmother, as is the case also for me." I like how the barn seems to glow in the sunlight! My Great Aunt Margaret Enid Johnson Porter and my Grandma Phyllis Talla Johnson Westerfield were sisters. Their mother, my Great Grandma Clara (Claire) Sage Talla was 100% "full blooded" Norwegian as the family would say, because all four of my great grandma's grandparents were all born in Southern Norway and immigrated to America in the mid 1800s. I am almost age 71 (born July 9, 1952) as I write this and only just recently found out about paintings by my Great Aunt Margaret Enid Johnson Porter. Mark Edward Westerfield, son of Frank Edward Westerfield, son of Phyllis Talla Johnson Westerfield, sister of Margaret Enid Johnson Porter. The sisters were daughters of Clara (Claire) Sage Talla Johnson and Roswell Evans Johnson. ps. Len Porter wrote me yesterday Wednesday 6-21-23: For any of the MEJP paintings I post on Facebook Johnsons you have non-exclusive rights to reproduce and sell anyway and every way possible. Keep this email in your file if there is ever a question. Only stipulation is to use her full name whenever possible. Howard L Porter III, PhD ................. Thank You to Len! I am almost age 71 as I write this 6-30-23 ... Mark Edward Westerfield
