In 1999, nine years after Fuller Potter's death, his son opened Potter's long dormant studio to the world.

All of his works, hundreds upon hundreds of drawings and paintings, were to be given away; some of the largest paintings to be sold at a reasonable price.  What was left at the end of the day would be burned in a bonfire.

Folks came from far and wide to collect what captured their imagination, to mingle and admire.  Sixty years of adventurous works filled the barns, spilling outside to lean against every tree and fence post... long rows of paintings and stacks of drawings covered the grounds.

Sure enough, when the sun lowed, that fire blazed hot as the remaining artworks were sacrificed.  A great flame consumed those long ago marks forever.  •
