    I had some damage due to burst pipes at New House and after 4 months things are back to normal(ish) so I decided to dig through my pile at Old House and put up some "new" paintings from my collection. Being more minimalist in my decorating approach at New house so just have eight paintings on the walls in the restored room there. Here are four of them:

    "Storm coming", Emmy Crick, 8.5" x 8.5", acrylic on stretched canvas. Frame appears to be made by the artist. A thrift shop find from many years ago. Her web site: https://www.emmykrick.com/about

    "Rio Grande Gorge Late Afternoon Sunset", Albert Hopkins, 18" x 24", oil on board. I bought this directly from the artist. This was a favorite scene of his and he painted, en plein aire, numerous versions. I saw an older version and asked him to paint a copy for me and he drove to the site to paint this en plein aire without telling me he was going to do so. It was a different season when he made this copy, and I didn't like the colors so bought something else from him. Later, he sold this one on ebay and I was the high bidder. Still not that fond of the colors and because the paint wasn't cured, I put it in storage. I now quite like it and liking it more and more the longer it hangs on my wall. I feel bad about not taking it when he first offered it to me as I paid quite a bit less for it on ebay.

    "What lies below (Two)", Matthew Holt, 14" x 11", oil on board. Another painting bought directly from the artist. He is a professional medical illustrator and also a fine artist. He has a web site: http://matthewholtfineart.com/index.html

    "Girl(?), ?, 13" x 15", oil on stretched burlap. I bought this directly from the artist maybe 10-15 years ago, but have lost all my data about this painting, including the name of the artist and title of the painting, etc. It is illegibly signed. What I do remember is the artist was from the U.S., was a woman and a "one woMan" show, that is she made her own canvas from burlap, her own stretchers from scrap wood, her own frames from scrap wood and applied the finish to the frames herself. When held to the light, the light shines through the canvas in hundreds of small holes from the burlap. It appears solid when hung. The canvas is mounted in the frame using deck screws! I wish I could remember her name! This work is quite an achievement. I particularly like the duck swimming on the bottom rail of the frame! I am very interested in seeing what her work looks like today.
