Hi all! New here...and right off the bat I'm going to bug you with something.
The down and dirty...I am trying to find the attached painting somewhere...anywher
e. If I knew who painted it, that would help me find it, but bottom line is I want to find it. Can anyone help or have you ever seen it anywhere?
Now the long story, if anyone is interested. I had this painting in my bedroom as a child. I have no idea where it ended up when my parents downsized to a smaller home after the kids moved out. Thinking about it over the past several years, I would Google it from time to time to see if I could find it anywhere, and one day I got a hit! That's the image I've attached.
The image was on the web site of an artist/collector and he had it for sale! So I contacted him via email, but he said he had recently relocated and everything was stored away in boxes and he didn't know if he could find it but he would look. Weeks later I contacted him again...offered him even more for it if he would try to find it. He looked but could not find it.
The fact that I cannot come up with a hit on the internet ANYWHERE makes me almost convinced that I owned the only one there ever was and now this man has it in his storeroom! Kidding...sort of. The frame is not the same as mine. But I can't believe it's not anywhere else to be found. Every time I'm in an antique store/mall I search the walls for it and ask the workers if they've ever seen it. No luck.
So I'm hoping someone here can help. Thank you!
