For some inexplicable reason, I love original portrait paintings, those odd ones, painted by unknown artists… particularly fun is to hunt for them in thrift stores and second-hand shops… I’m always on the look for them…  if you get lucky, you’ll always find some of the best bohemian looking portrait paintings ever.    

On President’s day, this past Monday our local Goodwill had a 50% sale going all throughout the entire store… everything 50% off.  That’s when I went by, and discovered this beauty!

I was super lucky to have found her! 
And only for $3

I always love to give my newly found treasures a name, and always look for it on the back of the paintings, in case it already came with one.  This particular canvas I just found was enclosed in some sorts of a removable wood frame… pretty, but I like the simpler canvas look better.  So, I removed the canvas from the frame, and that’s when I found the name of the girl in the painting...  

Jennelle!  Her name is Jennelle.  

Although the portrait is a little bit dark for my taste, and I would have preferred some livelier colors instead, I think she’s still beautiful, and it goes perfect in my gypsy room!
