I've seen far better efforts by a 6th grader armed with a decent assortment of crayola crayons.Gothick
Best one ... the one of PT Angelique is just beautiful.

I agree - I love that potrait. And the contrast between it and Maggie's couldn't be more striking. ;)
Actually, with Maggie's portrait, we should count our blessings. It could've been on black velvet - with her having those great, big, round sad eyes.
The only plus side was that it did look exactly like her, which is hard to say for most of the other portraits aside from Angelique's.
Can someone post a picture of the portrait of Maggie
I think the portrait of Maggie Collins is the best of them. It's the one portrait that looks like it's subject. IMHO... :)
the one to the left of the fireplace - the guy in the big floppy hat. Who was this - Leonardo Collins? :-
Yes, I distinctly remember him. One of his many inventions was bat-on-a-stick. It was all the rage in 16th century Collinsport. [wink2]
Sorry....if there was a village there in the 16th century, it's name would have been Abanaki Indian dialect for something like "Watch-out-for-high-cliffs-everywhere!"....NOT 'Collinsport'.
What a load of revisionist poppycock.....the sorry truth is that the first Collins to arrive in the area was old Increase Collins......after he was banished from Plymouth Colony for carnal knowledge of a sheep. In the 17th century!!
We all wish it wasn't true....but those are the facts.
