I FOUND THIS PAINTING AND ANOTHER AT A SALE.I RESEARCH THEM AND EVEN ENDED UP AT CARLOS HADAWAYS HOME IN FOUNTAIN HILLS,ARIZONA.THIS PAINTING IS ONE OF HIS FIRST,BUT HE WAS NOT SURE WHEN HE PAINTED IT,SINCE HE HAD NOT YET AT THAT TIME STARTED LOGGING AND KEEPING RECORDS OF HIS WORK.HE SAID THE TITLE IS "THE SCOUT".HE THEN PROCEEDED TO CLEAN BOTH PAINTINGS FOR ME.THE OTHER PAINTING IS TITLED "FERRIER HOMER BROOKS" WHO WAS ALSO FAMOUS IN HIS DAYS.

CARLOS TOLD ME THAT HE SOLD BOTH PAINTINGS TO THE ORIGINAL BUYER FOR $5,000. SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1970'S.

RESEARCH CARLOS HADAWAY,HE IS A FAMOUS SOUTHWEST ARTIST,WHOM IS NOW IN HIS GOLDEN YEARS AND RETIRED FROM PAINTING.AS YOU RESEARCH YOU WILL FIND THAT HE STARTED AS A CARTOONIST,HE CREATED THE FIRST LOGO FOR SAN DIEAGO PADRES BASEBALL TEAM.MOST OF HIS PAINTINGS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED BY PROFFESSIONALS AND THERE IS ONE IN THE CAPITAL BUILDING IN PHOENIX,ARIZONA.CARLOS HAS HAD SEVERAL EYE OPERATIONS THROUGHOUT HIS LIFETIME.BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH PAINTING WAS A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR HIM.HE EVEN COMMENTED TO ME ,THATHE DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS SUCH A GOOD PAINTER WAY BACK THEN.HE EVEN OFFERED TO TRADE ME,ANY OF HIS PAINTINGS HE HAS IN HIS HOME FOR THE PAINTING OF FERRIER HOMER BROOKS,IN WHICH HE TOLD ME HE COULD GET $15,000.FOR TODAY.
