Message:: [QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 26706, member: 305"]Here's a story. I found this at the Goodwill for $7. I liked it and purchased. There's a businnes card on the verso stating an address and name. The front was signed with just the last name. The card had the full name. I googled the name and after some time a had traced the artist from the East all the way to Colorado. I found a phone number for her and decided to give it a try and call. A young lady answered and I told her my story about the painting and she told me that I had the right lady, it was her grandmother. I spoke to the grandmother for awhile and I described the painting but she didn't remember it. She gave me an email address so I sent some images. She had painted it back in the 70s. She asked what I paid for it and I told her $7. She told me that was a big steal! That was her profession. She was an artist. She had art in shows, her own gallery. Within time, her hands didn't allow her to paint, so she stopped. She said the rest of her paintings she didn't sell, hang on her walls in her house. [ATTACH=full]6656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
