CREPPY OIL PAINTING FROM THE DUMP

[mojjax]

I got this OOB painting at the "PICKER'S CORNER" free pile at the local transfer station today . I have to go hide it before my girlfriend gets home - I don't think she will like it .

 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

I bet whoever threw it out was because their girlfriend didn't like it..... But Congrats. surely you can find someone interested in it...

I'd hang it in the Kitchen

Cool Find

my guess one of her early paintings

Yeah. I can just imagine that home-scene: "I don't know what happened to that painting. It must be in the attic or wherever you put it".


We had one on our front "sun-room" entry when I was a kid that creeped out a lot of folks . . . including me.

It was a copy of this famous one, but some family aunt had done it with a lot more veins and really wild eyes. My Mom hated it. Somehow it got damaged when we moved.

Looks like she passed in 2009.
Elizabeth “Betty” Yates Ensign, 86, of Winston-Salem, N.C. and formerly of Nantucket, died Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2009. A funeral service was held Aug. 29 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Nantucket.

I'm betting it is the same person as this one- https://www.nantucketarts.org/ensign-betty.html since it mentions Nantucket. The style is similar too.

There once was a lady artist from Nantucket who painted creepy paintings then chucked it

I would list it as Walking Dead Zombie Dog America Folk Art.

Coincidently, I picked this bronze Dog today who could have been the model for the painting.

She Saw it - It is now in the back of my truck - at least I have a Cap .

 

[villagenut]

That one would make a perfect present...........for my mother in law.

 

[Loco-Digger]

Sell it on line, easy money$$$$$

 

[mojjax]

I'll try putting on Craigs List Tomorrow - she seems to be a local artist . maybe I'll get some hits .

List on eBay as creepy/weird/outsider original oil painting - there is a market for them. This is one of the rare things I would start at a dollar + reasonable shipping, since it has no hard value but is likely to ignite some sort of bidding war if you rope them in with dollar start.

add 1 word "Haunted"

I think this would do good on ebay myself, as ugly as it is. People love creepy stuff.

When i first saw your photos this is the guy i thought of as the artist. I once owned one of his prints Cadaques. But that was decades ago before the expense of a wife and child.

Super creepy! Maybe keep everyone away if you're looking to do that. Yikes!

 

[Lafitte Deux]

Were you trying to spell Creepy or Crappy? Either way, it's both.
