[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 10155136, member: 84"]What a day at the thrift store today! I found a BIG Botero exhibition poster, a Miami Grand Prix first poster, a framed nude Burt Reynolds poster - And a 1952 maritime painting by Joe Selby, a peg legged, African American, artist who painted ships as they docked in downtown Miami, then sold his work to the ship owners! He kinda reminded me of the Florida Highwaymen painters, one of their paintings I found in the same thrift store! The only problem. Is the painting is Dirty! I think it's just dried mud or dirt, but I don't want to take a chance hurting it - his ship paintings have sold for several thousands - what should I do? Thank you [ATTACH=full]508157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508160[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508165[/ATTACH] My Other Finds Today - I'd forgotten about the Burt Reynolds poster, but it caused a stir when it came out!
