A Jasper Cropsey oil painting found by auctioneer Robert Foster in the top of a local barn, unframed and discarded many years ago amidst a pile of frames, was offered at Foster’s Auction Gallery on September 1. The well attended two-day auction, consisting of more than 1,200 lots, is always amongst the most popular sales of the year for the auction house. www.fosterauctions.com
