paintings had asked for Goldie to be included in them?"


That's a good question I don't know the answer to.  It was
always my assumption that most of Bark's paintings (but not all)
were done based on his own ideas and inspirations rather than
custom-ordered by fans.  I know he did several versions of the
Donald Duck "Sheriff of Bullet Valley" painting on request, but
I always thought most of the grand Scrooge adventure paintings
were done for his own enjoyment. 

Can anyone say for sure what the story is with these? 
Particularly the Goldie ones, of course, but all the others,
too.
