Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

Included with lot is a letter from Paul Goranson's wife regarding this painting and the origin of this image, in which she writes, "My husband Paul Goranson painted the 'Haunted House' fifteen years ago. We used to walk past this house, and Paul was drawn to its unusual appearance, which inspired him to paint it with a Halloween theme. It was just a fun piece for him and very different from the other work he had been doing at the time."
