288/365 Jerry

salvaged old canoe canvas for paintings, keeping the irregular torn edges. Mine’s nailed to a leafy dark board; the canvas captures five marshed bitterns, a bird I’ve never even heard in the wild. The subtle colors seem unlike her, and yet I’m guessing not.

Nice gender twist at the end. You have a lovely collection of local original art. I envy you in so many ways.

I wish I knew the slightest thing about art. All I know is what looks good and what doesn't. And to me, that's all that really matters...

IOS: I'd love to, but I'd need to learn how, AND it's such a darkly colored piece and I have horrible light in this house. I can't see that she has a website. She did a lot of bright paintings on canoe canvas too.

Preston: It's all about the liking (and for me, I really like buying art from people I know and like).

SY: At least you own some Roy Egg originals!
