This painting is accompanied by a letter signed by William Slaughter’s son Reid Slaughter, stating:

“This 24 x 36 bluebonnet painting Slaughter’s Blues was part of the estate of my father, William A. Slaughter. It was one of his personal paintings and was displayed for many years in his home. It has never been sold before, and I hope you enjoy it as much as my parents did.” -Reid Slaughter, 3/8/2010

The painting appears to be in good condition. Under UV examination, there is no evidence of restoration or inpainting.
