I found this painting at the thrift store last week...
I didn't buy it right away...
The volunteer workers recognized that it was worth a bit more than their usual fare...
...and so I hesitated.
But he is compelling...
Happily, I came to my senses and went back for him.
Another something I couldn't resist at the market today...
All is calm.
All is bright.
Majestic.
Today was a mixed bag of weather conditions...
...some rain...some sunshine.
I was able to work on another collage this afternoon....
...I am enjoying this time to create and experiment with art immensely.
I know how lucky I am.

What an interesting painting, love the way the artist captured the wispy ends of his coat!
I'm having a patriotic give-away if you'd like to stop by.
I love the painting too, I really like the color used in the background, what a great find. I also love the lake photos, I can hear the water lapping against the shore, what a calming place to be!
OH MY, I think I would have done the thrift store splurge to bring THAT handsome man home! I LOVE it! All the photos are FAB!
Majestic, indeed. Laura, I'm so glad you're having a wonderful and creative time at The Lake.
oh Laura! how beautifull is your your curly horn sheep!! so glad you took him home with you- it is one of those objects you would have remembered and regretted if you didn't, and both the subject and colors are just perfect!
love Colette x
You were so right to go back for the painting...it is wonderful! The lake looks so inviting...how lucky you are indeed!
Aren't you glad it was still there?! It's so grounding to spend time creating, enjoy your time in the studio!
I have a sweet old painting of cows that shares a similar story =)

I am glad you went back for the painting. It is wonderful! Your beautiful water pictures remind me of my childhood summer trips to Lake George in the Adirondacks.

Oooh - you've just reminded me that I have to work on my collages! And I have to post on Flickr but it's taking a bit of time to get it together ;-) Very regal old ram there. Julie's right - he's a bit Aussie looking.
I want to go to your thrift store:) Are you coming to the July Brim?
