A sailboat, a jalopy, odd-sized paintings? Some of Margit’s work is tough to pigeonhole with other more traditional landscapes.

    Of course, with a name of “Like Nancy’s”, one must ask what Nancy’s looks like.

  • Comment: The scene could be like so many that Margit painted– fall colors, cornshocks, a river or small lake. But a sailboat? When someone pointed out nobody would try to sail on that small body of water, Margit was embarrassed. (Hey, what did this farmgirl know about sailing anyway!) It’s believed Margit never attempted another boat with sails. Of course, with a name of “Like Nancy’s”, one must ask what Nancy’s looks like.
