From the ’30’s? Ma? Leaky, you’re probably right, a PBN that Joy did back in the “day.” Those early marriage days of cinder block book cases, mattress on the floor and Chianti bottles with candles in them. Oh, and lots of s…!
Although to be perfectly honest, several of the art pictures I treasure the most are a 2 × 2.5 ft beaded flower arrangement and a needlepoint RE Lee and a Jefferson Davis done by my great-great aunt in the ’70’s. Her mother made her do needlework when she misbehaved. There are identical ones at Belingrath Gardens in Mobile, so they must have been kits at the time. Auntie Henrietta must have been a very bad little girl indeed!
I have 3 paintings hung by others (one is actually a seriagraph, but was $$), but most paintings are by me (4 in LR, all are Cuddles, painted in styles of Chagall, Neiman, Monet, O’Keefe and Picasso on the 16’ wall facing the kitchen, but visible from LR).
I was just thinking, “Plus ca change, plus la meme chose.” Many of the memories of my Aunts centered around the early days of Houston and how “rough and ready” things were then. They witnessed a gunfight downtown and took shelter in an ice cream parlour. They saw the refugees from the great Galveston storm of 1900, they used the first telephones and saw the first airplanes. How exciting! How dull for us now. Then I got to thinking. There are gunfights in downtown Houston even now. I witnessed the (100,000) refugees from New Orleans after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. I have a cell phone and can send and receive photos. I can see things live that are taking place anywhere in (or out of) the world. I saw men set foot on the moon. I guess my great-grandchildren will have some stories to tell about me as well.

She knows about as much about art as she knows about everything else.

G’morning all —
Bedtime here and I’m seriously sleepy….
But I gotta say the “expert” knows even less than Joy, if he can’t tell a print or a paint-by-number canvas from an original work of art.
She’ll obviously say whatever it takes to to sell it, cos she’s got on her “fleece” wear.
Mikie — How great to have family treasures.
Um…. but you do mean the 1870’s?
Cos stuff from the 19 70’s is OK, but….. well, not quite the same.
Hope Marg can get here —
I tried to warn her about those darn mashed potatoes.
You have to keep them away from computers or they really gum up the works.
and GymShoe — I posted an answer to your last post last night.

I’ve seen paintings where the artist should’ve been hung!

I think that piece needs to be draped in Dill’s “stinky pants”.
