In Downers Grove, the only thing worse than a hot-headed bully is the one without a head at all… Being an outsider at Downers Grove Middle School was hard enough. But as Bodie, Abe, and Odesa learn, things could always be a lot worse…and a lot creepier. When a vengeful, headless phantom begins to stalk them in the night, the three 12-year-old strangers must work together to confront a tragic past that mysteriously connects them all. Book #3 of the thrilling Hazyscapes middle-grade anthology, The Headless Horseman of Downers Grove is a pulse-pounding story of fantastic folklore, improbable friendship, and the lasting harm of intolerance.

Beautifully executed painting by Frank Humpal. Signed lower right: F. R. Humpal. Painting Provenance: purchased in 2019 for private collector from the A.J. Dollar Fine Painting gallery in New York. Humpal was American Impressionist born on July 9th, 1895 in Chicago. His years on production were 1920-1948 during which time he lived and worked in Downers Grove, Illinois; Chicago, Illinois; and Nashville, Indiana. While living in Downers Grove he produced work for the Chicago Tribune and the Milwaukee Journal. He attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1915-1920, studying under Frederick Fursman and developing a friendship with Theodore Steele. His work was mostly of American farms, woods, and ponds and his landscapes are applauded for his sensitivity to light and hue. Hence, light was one of his biggest inspirations. A noteworthy fact also is that he only signed about half of his works, wanting to focus more on the process of painting rather than achieving recognition. Humpal was not keen on exhibitions for most of his career until the 1930s when he became a life member of the Chicago Art Institute. From this point until his death in 1948, he did exhibit his work more regularly. His exhibitons included: Regional Exhibitions in Brown County; Nashville; Milawaukee; Louisville; Indianapolis; Illinois Society of Fine Arts Spring Salon show of 1936; Art Institute of Chicago’s Annual Exhibition, the 41st, 45th, and 50th. less
