MESSAGE BOARD

Paul Remely was my grandfather, and yes he has passed on. He was fairly well known in the Lehigh Valley. He resided in Bethlehem. You May have seen the steel "Family of Man" sculpture on Broad Street in Bethlehem. He designed it. I'm glad you are enjoying two of his works! I'll tell my grandmother. She'll be happy to hear it too!

Syl H. to Tom Remely: I have two large framed paintings by Paul Remely. Am interested in selling both. One is Papa's Barn and the other is
Titled The Barn. Have family connection to Kate
Remely Martin. Please reply.

I too have a Paul Remely painting hanging in my living room. It is titled Mary Lou's Cummings Farm in Lenhartsville, PA. It was purchased by my Grandmother in Pacific Beach, CA. I love it. It is a painting of a farm with the Pennsyvania Dutch symbols on it. I'd love to get a photograph of the original. It's nice to see a little information on him.

Paul Remely was my father, who died in 1973. He was primarily a watercolorist, but also dabbled in oils, acrylics and sculpture. The farm you refer to still exists, but I'm not certain about Mary Lou Cummings. My father sold his paintings mostly in the northeast, particularly at the Mystic and Old Lime sidewalk shows in Connecticut.
He lived in Bethlehem, PA his entire life and painted most of his work in and around the Lehigh Valley.

Syl H.: I have two paintings by Pual Remely: Papa's Wagon watercolor and The Barn. Am interested in selling paintings. both are large and beautifully framed. Have family connection to Remely. Please reply.
