    I found this painting at my local thrift store - unfortunately unsigned! But then on my way home a cool looking Rolls Royce pulled up beside me at a red light (not that uncommon in Miami) - when I noticed a familiar pattern & then saw Romero Britto signature on the side, and when I looked at the driver I saw it was Romero Britto!
    I thought about asking him to sign my painting with something like "Not Bad, R. Britto" - but before I could think it through the light changed & he was gone!

    Here is the painting I bought today + a pic of his very cool Rolls Royce!

    PS - 2nd painting is also unsigned - and also looked familiar (I know I've seen that lady & the way her hair is done before!) Does anyone recognize the artwork and/or know the artist of the deco looking lady & dogs/gazelles?

    Thanks!

    Meeting (fleetingly!) Romero Britto! Notice 3rd photo where he signed the car's painting - that Rolls just became a lot more valuable!

    And Finally - Does Anyone Recognize This Art or Know the Artist, Please?!

    Your last piece appears to be an art deco period-ish piece. Certainly older than the frame. Is it a 3-D construction? Appears to be based on the photos. Maybe inspired by Rockwell Kent?

    It's just a print - but a cool one!
