      Mr. Oder,

      I tried this reply once before but haven’t recieved anything from you.

      My grandparents knew Ernest Tonk and I was able to go to his studio once in Glendale, CA. and preview his special painting of the Sepulcher of Jesus.
      I just wondered if you knew anything about that painting or if it is still around?

      Sincerely,

      R.L. Ardron

      Hi David. I’m sorry that I have no artwork that I’m getting rid of, but I’m hoping that maybe you can help me with something. Ernest Tonk was my great (or great, great) uncle. My mother was a Stoltenberg and he was her Uncle. I have three of his paintings and would like to have them appraised for insurance purposes, but have no idea who to go to. I was hoping that perhaps you knew someone, who is well versed in his art. Lol, I’ve competed with you a few times on e-bay, but you always win! Teri Johnson

      I just logged on to this site. I have one of Ernest Tonk’s paintings titled “Roundup Time”. It is of a cowboy cutting out a cow and her calf who look like they were trying to escape. The background is a big herd and 1 rider amid on the left and 2 riders on the right working the here. Mountains in the background.
      If you are interested, please contact me. efarrer@shaw.ca

        Just the two of us left on this side of the family.
        She is donating her 2 paintings to the Museum in Cashmere. I will get some pictures and info to you soon.

      That being the case, your mom is a cousin of mine, through her grandfather Carl Tonk? The brother of Ernest Tonk? Your grandmother was Marybell Craig? That being the case we met when you were very young. Say high to your Mom. And if you do have any Tonk paintings I will be happy to buy them from you for my collection.

      Thanks

      Dave

    I have a print of a painting signed Adam Styka that is almost exactly the same painting as “At the Waterhole” by Ernest Tonk on your website. It seems likely one must have copied the other.
