[QUOTE="stracci, post: 9832913, member: 13814"]I posted about this painting a few years ago, but it fits this discussion. Some years ago, a friend gave me a stack of worthless framed wall art from the Salvation Army Thrift Store. At the time I had a booth in an antique mall, and he thought I might want them. I thanked him and said that I really liked the floral oil painting. I said it might be worth something, but he didn't care, he thought it was ugly. (!) Turned out that the artist was noted Kentucky painter Henry Lawrence Faulkner. Score! [ATTACH=full]490870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490871[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
