    Hi all. Picked up this little oil on board by Jon Houglum . Its 6x9 . I only glanced at it rather dismissively because goodwill doesnt let any art thru anymore. At least in N Fl ! but it caught my eye so I gave it a good look and thought its actually very well done . Didnt find much on the secondary market but that doesnt really matter. Its the first piece of real art Ive found in forever,and its beautiful. All input appreciated.

    Very nice. And I like the cloth underneath it as well.

    What a fun find! Like the pops of turquoise. Appears he uses it a lot in his work.

    Lovely piece Johnny,i would've bought it.
    There's some really fine original art out there that's affordable.I surf thru Invaluable & Ebay for kicks-some goes thru the roof-some's ignored.

    If it's a piece i'm over the moon nuts about-i'll pay up (if it's a 'keeper').
    If a potential resale piece i get extremely tight-you just can't do enough in-depth research in crowded thrift,estate or flea mkt w/ a phone.

    I could swear somewhere in my linen closet, I have a linen that looks so similar that I purchased at an estate sale. I will have a look later on and see if I can locate it.
    Great for you to have nice memories

    Does the sheet have the tag on who made it? Was it Dan River by chance??
    Love the colors.
