Are any of the Buffetts Artists?

I was in a consignment store the other day looking for tropical themed stuff for my upcoming family room redo. There was a print of a beach house in a tropical setting that I found really striking. The signature just said "BUFFETT". A quick artist search turned up nothing, so I wonder if it's a relative or just a coincidence.

Any ideas?

I've seen William Buffett tropical prints... never inquired about a relation though. Lots comes up when you Google, including:

Okay. Yup, that must be the artist. That's the style of the print.

I'm going to go back and buy it.

William Buffett is a great great painter who lives in Nashville. Cool old dude. No relation. He's related to Warren somehow.

Warren Buffett's son Peter Buffett is a musician and a great one at that. In the Native American vein.

I also have a nice William Buffett print. I remember walking into a Buffett-y place called the Reef in Beaufort, NC and seeing it and had to have it.

Bwana, I didn't realize that Peter Buffett was Warren's son. Thanks for that tidbit. (Or, if I knew that, I forgot.

)

Didn't Savannah Jane do the artwork for Coconut Telegraph or one of Jimmy's albums?

Yeah, I did an interview with Peter Buffett. Really cool. He knows Jimmy B. a little bit.

Yes, Savannah Jane Buffett drew a few pieces for Riddles in the Sand which found their way onto the vinyl jacket. She was like 5 years old or so.

Warren Buffett is a ukulele plucker.

I heard that William Buffett is closer to Jimmy than it is known. But then again, this was in Fairhope and some Alabamaians like to tell tall tales.

William and Jimmy are not related.

When I got my new office, I bought a number of William Buffett's prints. I checked it out and found no relationship--other than a love of the tropics.
