Large oil on canvas. The artist
Hutcheson titled this on the side of the stretcher Boy With Lantern. There
is still a paper tag on the back from a San Francisco art exhibit in
1963.
|

One of our first
buys from 1993. Found at a flea for $1, it shows houses of
different colors on a slope in Pittsburgh's
|

My favorite.
Signed Emerick. I look at this painting constantly and see it
differently. Emerick put triangles everywhere, in the sky, in
the water, on the dock, everywhere. And they don't hit you
right away. They creep up on you until you realize "Hey, there's
triangles everywhere!". I could look at this
painting for hours. Roughly 18"x24".
|

A great painting.
I found five or six from this artist at an estate sale, all around $2
each. Signed Leander Kirstein, they are all historic sorta. |

One of my
favorites, about 2x3. Signed Emerick, no date. I bought probably ten of
these at one house sale for $1 apiece. Most are sold. |
|

My one and only
partner started us off with this one from the Dutch school. Oil on board,
about 18x24. Good moody colors and forms
|

Magic mushroom poster from the
sixties, under glass. Almost three feet tall. I think it was $2.
|

A little unsigned
oil on academy board, probably forties or early fifties. My Van Gogh.
|

Another Kirstein
|

Another Emerick.
Create bold strokes across the middle and great greens, which few artists
embrace. |
|

The first ever paint by number,
Abstract#1. I found this in a used furniture store for $8 and sold
it for $500. No kidding! |

Another pbn, this one in
an original labeled frame, almost unheard of. J.Edgar Hoover Swiss
Village style, cost 1.95, sold for $125! |

Another original frame, this one an Ethel Merman
Desert Scene.
|

I can't get enough
of this little six inch on thin wood board view of a southwestern
courtyard with a man coming out of the shadows. I'm fascinated by this
little painting. Spanish writing on back and signed. |

A paint by number gone mad.
|
|

Unsigned, 18x28, a great western scene. On board. |

Old 1906 view of Black River, Michigan by
Joseph Warner. |

A huge Station of the Cross, oil on
canvas, roughly 5'x3.5'. Shown without the big wood frame. |

$3 in the frame, wanted $7! Great big 2'
by 3' oil on canvas board. One of the biggest boards I've seen. |

Looks like a young
Queen Elizabeth. On masonite and pretty big, painted with oils and
acrylics, unsigned. I think it cost $2. |
|

One of our newest
from 2002, $1.95 at Thrift Store. Unbelievably, an
exhibition tag from The 6th Annual Carolinas College Art Show
of 1963 still on the frame titles the art "The
Refugees" and lists the artist as Katrina Sahli |

A big painting of Gemini
capsule in the water. The frogmen are standing on a ring that would
blow-up when the capsule hit. I got this from a place that only
wanted the frame to use in a haunted house and not the art! Dated
1966, Tripoli. |

An earthenware tile.
The artist signed the piece and put her name and address on
the back. A terrific bonus. I found her number and called and
she talked for an hour. She's 80 and did these years ago for
family and eventually for art fairs. |

Great landscape
from the 30's, Signed Dudek, 36" long. |

A great
image, oil on canvas, over two feet tall. The artist did the frame with
plaster over wood. Signed Philpot. No date. |
|

Looks like Frank
Duveneck, but its not. I don't think. The paint on this is
almost spread across the board and its real dry, like oils
that are super aged. The color layers are great but hard to
see. |

A big 3'x4', oil on
canvas and signed Barnes with a Japanese monogram. Sorta
cubist. Sorta. This was expensive...$9! |

Grand Tetons? I like the
black fence, like we are right outside and have to choose to jump
over or whistle for someone. |

One of a lot of watercolors
we bought for ten bucks...for around forty of them! I framed this one. |

California Coast sand
painting. The artist mixed sand in with the paints of this 20x26 art on
masonite. |
|

Reclining nude, great purple brush strokes
and red. |

I found this original 1970 vintage poster of Jimi
Hendrix in a
junk store in the worst part of town, still hanging on the wall. |

Fine art photo of a big dark blue oil tank with steps
up the side. Signed Gary San Pietro and dated 1981, image size
19x15.

painted on old department store box tops, the kind you'd get with a shirt
or sweater |
|

Autumn Glory, 8"x11" on panel. |

The amazing mini, only 4"x3". I like the
pink, yellow and blue in the sky. |

Another min, 4"x5". Both are by Betty
Barnett, 1976. |

Some kind of wall
hanging of handmade and dyed wool yarn. About 2'x1.5'. I think its a

Signed Ianoff or Janoff '64. Nice abstract |

Signed c. Henrickson ( or -sen), 36"x24" oil on canvas titled Wildlife.
Unbelievable work and cost a dollar! |

Canvas board girl. She looks like the bad seed. Great blues. |

Canvas board still life. |
|

5' tall and 6'wide, this oil on canvas of trees is kinda
scary. The paint is big swashes and helter skelter. |

1902 signed A.E.P. watercolor and gouache on paper. |

Signed Jeff Norris, I found three from him. One was Starry
Night. I sold it. Oil on board about 2x3. |

4x2.5' Charlie Brown on mat board. Pretty cool. |
|

cement, and at least 300pounds. We found it by the dumpster and asked first.
It sits in the garden We're gonna paint it one of these days. |

I've always liked that short red fence. Acrylic on canvas
board. |

The black crows flying away from the house on a hill. |


Four watercolors from an old lady in Florida's estate. I

I was in New York City working from
August 28 to Sep. 30, 2003. Near the end of my stay, my son and his
friend (my friend too..Hi Emily!) came up for the weekend. My son drove me
out to a Pizza Hut and I was Jonesing for art. Across the street, an
oasis!! A Thrift Store!! These two are what I found, a buck each. New York
City Discard Art...finally!! The red one is 16x20 oil on canvas panel
signed Holda and the surfers are 18x24 acrylic on canvas panel. |

Eastgate Flea market find, 24x30, $4, I think acrylic
and oil on canvas. |

this almost abstract |

On a big slab of slim fiberboard, this looks like a
backdrop of some kind. Roughly 4x6 |
 |

My Chagall |

Nice winter from cool vantage point. |
A co-worker sold me this after her daughter moved out and
left ten or so of these from art school. 3feetx3feet, its stunning! $20,
one of the highest prices ever paid but we really like it. |
