Minnie Wonsmos was a northwest painter (Seaside, Oregon) who also owned an art gallery there. We have two small (8'by 12") seascapes, one of the wreck of the Peter Airdale, a famous ship wreck near Astoria Oregon. The actual ship is still visible from the shore, but there is VERY little of it remaining. Minnie painted in oils on a variety of materials, the two we have are on cardboard, but she did some much larger ones on Masonite, and probably also on canvas. The second we have is of Haystack Rock. She apparently also sold prints of some of her pictures, as I have seen some for sale listed as "prints". I do not think she is still alive, but I have seen mention of a Daughter by the name of Jackie (Laughlin) (not sure of the last name) who is an artist and Greeting card illustrator.

Jackie's last name is actually Claflin. She and her husband, George, are artists and have a webpage: jackieclaflinsart.com

What is the value of painting by Minnie Wonsmos?

I grew up with a Minnie Wonsmos painting and I still have not tired of it. I am a trained painter, who lives in NYC and has shown at numerous galleries, as well as having an artist book in the collection of MOMA. My sister is an art historian who also loves the aesthetic quality and technique of Wonsmos' work. Both me and my sister have purchased a few smaller Wonsmos paintings that we have found in antique shops on the Oregon Coast. These were purchased at reasonable prices of between $35 - $70 each. Even though Minnie Wonsmos is not a well known painter, nation-wide, she was an extremely prolific painter and created some stunning works of the Oregon Coast. She has a definite style and palette, that clearly denotes her work. Even though much of her painting shares a similar content there is enough variety in her work that her paintings do not have a mass produced feel. Instead it appears that she observed the ever changing ocean to create variety in her ocean scenes. Here forest scenes do have a more mass produced appearance. Even though Wonsmos paintings are not very expensive to purchase, they are certainly extremely valuable for their beauty. Both me and my sister feel that in time, a finely painted Wonsmos will increase in value. Minnie Wonsmos was my Grandmother. Her husband Bertel Wonsmos also painted as did my mother Jackie Claflin claflinsart.com and author of Claflins windows of my world by Susan Schewee. I also have done some painting. To Me my Mothers and Grandparents paintings are priceless.
