  1. My grandfather was an artist and he only bought these three tubes of paint... and black and white. In his later years he entertained for the USO in a show called "Paint Your Blues Away." He'd wear a black hood and paint a painting ( most usually of the California or Oregon coastline about 10x17 in 3 minutes — then give the paintings to the servicemen. They had to buy the frame though.

  2. Leslie~ what an incredible story- thanks for sharing! I'm curious about the black hood, was it to keep his anonymity?

  4. Take 2 - I love the way the paint looks smokin' hot coming from those great tubes. Nice painting of paint.

  6. He wasn't supposed to see the canvas. ( I think he could, but I hate to think about that.) Nevertheless, painting it in 3 minutes was talent!
