One man's trash...


It was propped up against a garbage can. Discarded, waiting for the landfill.

This is what I came upon while walking through the neighborhood next to mine…

Found artwork - 18" x 24" (origin unknown)

An Asian seascape of some kind. It looked a bit amateurish (probably mass-produced) yet exotic.

The fact that no one else wanted the painting made me want it that much more. It was too colorful to ignore!

I'm going to hang it up in my new place. It'll be my first work of art to go up there!

As the saying goes, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

What a great find!

At first glance, with the Chinese style vessel, the modern city, and the mountainous terrain behind, I'd guess it's Hong Kong.

while picking through my ancient email archives I found a link to you.
You rock and don't forget it.
Glad to read your latest post and know that you are ok.
