WOW  That was a terrific day! Chuck and I went to Elliot Lake with our paintings and pots, and had them appraised by the Artiques Roadshow - yes Artiques. The weather was great - with fluffy clouds in a sunny sky, and everything looking lush and green from the cool spring. We sat by Elliot Lake with a gale blowing our hair almost straight back, and drank our coffee!
Dave ... told us most Canadian painters painted trees, rocks, water or snow. Just what our Michauds and Robert Ross had. So nothing artsy. And most of the old Dutch pottery from Chuck's Mom has cracks. So we now know what they would have been worth if they were whole! Too bad C stepped on one when he was a boy, because it would have been worth $500 if perfect!! BooHoo. But what fun it was to watch Dave look up things on Google, just to be sure. What a wonderful resource for them. No more carrying trunk loads of books wherever they go.
We had lunch at Timmy's, and dinner at Green Acres on the way home. Followed by a nice chat with Barb. So much for my first OAS cheque!! LOL.
