[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4414375, member: 84"]I have a friend who is the manager of a thrift store here in Miami, Fla. and if I get there early enough (usually 7:30 - they open at 9:00) and if they are unloading their trucks, he lets me go in & see/buy all the new stuff first. There was a old cardboard box that one of the unloaders just tossed in the dumpster, but luckily I saw some rolled up canvases through one end that turned out to be the paintings below (plus the very cool Lotus-Ford 49 poster I posted yesterday asking for information on) - and ended up paying $90 for all of it. And even though I rescued it from being thrown away I didn't complain because I figured the Lotus-Ford poster was worth it alone & the paintings were just the cherry on the sundae (hopefully). Thoughts on the paintings - are any of these good? Can anyone help me with who the artists' were? Thank you! PS - 1st one below that is done in a dark tone; there were 2 more by the same artist & both also done in dark colors that I didn't buy, but instead I asked my friend to hold them for me until I could ask you guys here if they were by anyone known and/or worth anything - so fingers crossed someone here can help me with it! Also the 2nd & 3rd paintings were done by the same artist and I did buy both of them because they had a MCM feel to them. All photos were taken outside in the sunlight (they looked better - to me - when I first saw them in the store under reg lights?)
