"The Ghosts of Burn Brae Mansion"
|
When a beloved family home is destroyed by fire, do its ghostly residents migrate
to the homes of other family members? Might some of them have moved here?
The ghosts of Burn Brae still wander the halls of this great old mansion, deep in
the darkly wooded Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. Yes, this is a real mansion,
and the resident ghosts have been heard by many guests, as well as its owner, innkeeper Andy Russ.
This rambling estate home was commissioned about a century ago, by an heir to Isaac
Singer's sewing machine company empire, as a wedding gift for a beloved daughter of
the company's third president. Of nine similarly great homes built in the region at
around that time for other family members, it is one of but three that remain. Today
it is operated as an elegant inn.
Back in January of 2008, I was commissioned by Andy Russ to create this painting,
and was privileged to receive a great deal of historical information, photos of the
inn (at the time beneath a blanket of snow), and several very old and faded photos
showing the house as it appeared early in the last century, and some of its residents.
Even this great structure had nearly succumbed to fire early on, as evidenced by
differences between old and current views showing the third story. The painting
includes some of the details that were lost in that fire.
Normally, I do not offer prints of commissioned paintings, since they are the exclusive
property of the person who commissioned it. However, concurrently with notifying me that
his painting had taken a first prize in The East Coast Haunters art competition, Andy
has granted me permission to offer prints of Burn Brae Mansion to friends of The Haunted Studio.
