The wall was one of the them.......
Last weekend driving through a small village I notice the antique shop sign. The burning wood stove kept the place warm and I was making my way through pile of furniture and this &that nobody wants.....until I saw this painting on top of a cupboard.
We agreed on a very reasonable price and then he mentioned that there is another box of paintings.
For a couple of dollars I picked these paintings dated from 1950.
Create your own vision board!
* Just to answer Leslie's thoughts - a box of these paintings were dropped off by the son's painter who had them for years in his garage. The shop keeper told me that the younger generation does want the "old" stuff anymore, but somehow they will find a new home.







This is so interesting to me. I once went into a rather eclectic washroom in a restaurant where they had a portrait in oils of a woman, probably dating from the 50's, and ever since I've been looking for this very type of thing. I just couldn't help but wonder who was she? what was her life like? why did anyone abandon her portrait? and how did she end up in a washroom?? It's all terribly romantic really. Nice finds. I will be expecting you to write a novel concerning these lost women :)
