My Thrifted Art

Image
A couple of paintings that I thrifted are now hanging in my home. Who says art has to be expensive?  I purchased this one at an estate sale for practically nothing.  A couple of dollars if I remember right.  I asked about the history and I was told the couple had visited Greece or perhaps it was Crete and had purchased it from a street artist.   I think the name is G. Grigoros ?   This one I loved and could hardly buy it fast enough.  I don't remember asking any questions about it.  The Flash brightened it in the above photo.  The colors are really quite soft.  The primitive painting is my favorite style I loved how it was framed but, as in many I've seen in galleries, the frames could use some work. I have not seen anything online about the artist, nor do I expect to.   It just makes me feel happy.  It may make an appearance on my mantle in January.  ...
