Found: Art

Got the idea to start a new little series about things I find. "Found: Art," is the kick-off post, so I will be  sharing the random and interesting works of art I have acquired over the years from estate sales, thrift stores, etc. 

This first piece I'm sharing is a painting I picked up at a thrift store in Arlington, TX:

I tried to find information about the artist, "G. Pierre," but apparently this guy is elusive as all my searching concluded in other peoples' searching on message boards trying to find out who he was. I did gather he was a 1930s French artist, but that is about all I could find. 

I love this painting - it is one of my favorites I have. It was $12 at the thrift store. My research shows that other paintings by G. Pierre may be worth about $300-$500.

...

Enjoy.
