While putting away my endless forest of Christmas trees, I decided to clear space in an upstairs closet to stash a tree that just did not want to go into the under stairs storage. I came across some old paintings. This drawing was done about fifty years ago from a family photo I found at my mom’s. But I have no idea who the people are and the piece was in the back of the closet for decades. So I’m taking it into Good Juju to try to sell.
It can honestly be categorized as vintage!
There was an ugly painting lurking in the closet too. It was flowers with a hummingbird and butterflies. I looked at it and thought, decent frame, pretty colors, just needs work. So I thought I’d “touch it up”. Haha, so much for that! A few hours later, it was entirely covered with a landscape.
There is not an inch of the original painting left. It did not get a makeover or touch up, it got a cover up. It’s still not done, the flowers in the foreground are just roughed in.
But I had a fun day - much more fun than cleaning out closets. The distraction of painting means that there is still a half cleared storage area that needs attention. Maybe next January when I need to find a space to cram a tree into.
