[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 358861, member: 84"]I went to a local thrifts store late this afternoon after doing my estate sale all day; about 30 min before closing - and found this piece just sitting there! AND! when I asked how much, the manager - in the middle of starting to close the store - said, "$10"!! I thanked him and wished him a wonderful week-end as I zipped out before he changed his mind! Usually nothing new is put out on Sat - it's 1/2 price day to get rid of slow moving merchandise - and what is there that has any coolness is snapped up by bargain hunters. I don't know how this lasted all day but I was a happy camper! Is this Haitian or African or? - I thought Haitian because the canvas is just a threadbare wisp of a canvas, and most Haitian paintings I find look like 'found' rejects to paint on - they have no art store they can run down to & they use what they can find. Can anyone make out the name? I see Reugensio? but nothing comes up. Thanks for any help - it's appreciated!
