    Location solved I purchases a book written by the artist himself
    "Newport an artist's impressions of its architecture and history" written and illustrated by Richard Grosvenor
    Trinity Church on Queen Anne Square in Newport, Rhode Island, is a historic parish church in the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island. Founded in 1698, it is the oldest Episcopal parish in the state. The current Georgian building was designed by architect Richard Munday and constructed in 1725–26. It is a National Historic Landmark.

    Richard Grosvenor was born in St. Jean de Luz, France, in 1928. He studied painting with Richard S. Meryman at Groton School in Gorton, Massachusetts. In 1950, he graduated with a B.F.A. from Harvard University. Mr. Grosvenor worked as a commercial artist for the National Forman's Institute and the Electric Boat Company of General Dynamics.
    In 1953, he was appointed Head of the Art Department of St. George's School in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1974, Grosvenor, a true renaissance man, designed and built his new home. This creative endeavor was followed by the creation of his own boat and most recently his own airplane. Mr. Grosvenor continues to teach Painting, Architecture, and Art History at St. George's in a part-time capacity
    Richard Grosvenor was taught landscape painting during his Groton years. His subject matter includes urban and rural landscapes, architectural studies and an extensive portfolio of New England coastal scenes. His watercolors and oils have been purchased by institutions throughout the United States and are in numerous private collections.

      Thank you very much
      The research is about 25% of the fun for me but the hunt on the other hand is 75% of the fun ;).
      Sometimes you just can't figure something/artist out it gets really frustrating but hey as long as you love what you buy/collect then it's all GREAT :)
