Oh Goodie Goodie! (will)

I have a habit of doing a quick walk-thru the Goodwill store on my way to lunch each afternoon.

It was “senior” day and sometimes that makes the “quick” part of the walk-thru a little more cumbersome.

But hey, who am I to talk?  I am so looking forward to the day I get MY discount!

I did all the rows and ended up on the – Art Row.

Art truly IS in the eye of the one with the pricing gun at Goodwill.

They seldom put out original art anymore, since they sold a painting on their website for like a gazillion dollars a few year ago.  All the original art just goes somewhere else.

Except for today.

I know it may not look like much to you – but it certainly caught my eye!

Why?

dscn3866I took pottery classes for years, and one thing it taught me is that you have to be good to make things look simple.

This looks simple – but it is not.

dscn3870There was a glimpse of a signature and I peeled back the frame and with a little help ( thanks, Stephanie) figured out the signature was Cobelle..

I googled Cobelle on my iphone when I was at lunch and ooooh-wheeee!  It made me happy!

I would say I was walking on clouds.

Pink cartoonish fabuloso clouds.

I listed it on ebay and I am hoping it rains dollars on me!
