Dr. Med. Charles Diedrick van Romondt married Anna Wheat Morgan. The couple had 1 child Annie Wheat van Romondt who married Benjamin Budd and had 5 children. Daughters Margaret Budd and Anita Gooth-Budd became very succesful painters in the U.S.A. Margaret was a wonderful artist who was very successful in oil painting and her sister Anita also was a painter who was well known in the City of New York.http://www.iloveny.com/home.aspx
But the painting didn't stop there in the family, Anita Budd-Gooth's only child ,Dolores Gooth Amrose was also an artist! She graduated from Syracuse University with a Masters Degree in Art.http://www.syr.edu/The next year ,she married John C. Amrose,and they began their family!-four daughters . Dolores managed to teach art, as a substitute in the Syracuse Public Schools for a few years. Dolores also was a teaching assistant in art at the high school of her daughter Jane Jackman. In the early 1960's,while her children took ballet lessons, she opened a small art gallery in the front room of the studio, with the owner's approval. Back then, there were very few, if any art galleries in Syracuse,N.Y. http://www.syracuse.ny.us/She met with quite alot of resistance, even from some art students she had gone to school with!! Through the years, she had a painting exhibited at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, http://www.everson.org/and at a few local galleries.
But the painting didn't stop there in the family, Karin Mitschele Margaret's granddaughter is as she describes a self taught painter and and have been doing artwork since her childhood. Karin says: " that she began painting believe it or not because I wanted to have some artwork to hang on my walls when I first got married". She went from there to doing portraits in pastel and during the past 7 years she have been doing decorative painting on furniture for an interior decorator who then sells her pieces to her clients. She also is about to start on a 20 foot mural for a local ice cream store and this will be the largest painting she will ever be doing. Karin, 53 year of age thinks this will be quite a workout for her. After this major project she will continue to work on different techniques for painting furniture.
