<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KentWhirled, post: 354319, member: 5386&quot;]?I so infrequently buy or sell anymore, but I maintain an interest in looking.&nbsp; My “find” is a series of coincidences.&nbsp; I was looking at an online catalogue from one of auction houses.&nbsp; It was for an upcoming antiques and fine arts sale.&nbsp; Not much of interest to me but I paid attention to the Canadian art on sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>My son in law’s bday was nigh and I didn’t have a card so I decided to make one.&nbsp; I went to my paper stash to get some card stock, and I found a small watercolour painting that I had bought at a thrift.&nbsp; Of course, I had completely forgotten that I had it.&nbsp; I paid a couple of bucks at most and had removed it from a cheap frame.&nbsp; The reason I bought it was because it was a rather sweet rendition of the view of Mt. Baker from the east coast near where I live.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought I would try to find a frame for it and I looked at the signature and thought, “ I’ve seen that somewhere.”&nbsp; Well, I had seen it on numerous watercolours in the auction house catalogue!&nbsp; It’s by a listed Canadian artist, Arthur Henry Parker who died in 1941.&nbsp; The <i>other</i> auction house in town said it would be suitable for their up-coming BC History auction!&nbsp; They didn’t give me any estimate, though, LOL.&nbsp; I’d be surprised if it sold for more than $25. I’m still thinking I’ll get a nice little frame for it!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But what a weird set of coincidences!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120492[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
