hank...

They just don't make'em like this anymore. I just read that the newer generation will not care much about classic or antique things. How sad is that. I on the other hand love old things, including this old truck. I hope this is not the last old automobile you see from me. Measures 2 feet by 2 feet and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $397 } SOLD

melvin...

No animals were harmed in the making of this painting. I grew up at a summer camp in Corbett, if a camper received three or more letters in the mail camp tradition required said camper to "kiss the moose" which hung on the lodge wall. Naturally the moose's name was Melvin. Measures 4 feet wide by 4 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $387 } SOLD

faye...

Sometimes you just want to do something different, Faye is a representation of that. I do think everything looks great with a black outline, maybe this is to prove that it can still be pretty with out the harsh outlines. I think this became one of my favorite pieces because it is undefined and understated. The piece measures 2 feet wide by 4 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $297 } SOLD
