A Friend’s Curiosity Opens His Eyes
A few years later, when he invited his friends over to his house, one of them, an old-time art lover, happened to see this painting. He could not help but turn to the man and ask, “Where did you get this? ” He asked with great curiosity because the brushwork and the colors were unmistakably of that particular art movement.
The man was surprised by his friend’s interest in it. He had bought it at a yard sale and hadn’t really thought much about it since. However, the friend seemed to be interested in the art. He pointed out a number of brushstrokes and color compositions that one would expect of a real artist. “You should get this appraised,” he told with a hint of excitement. “It looks like some of the paintings I saw in galleries; some of the artists that styles later brought them to fame in mid-century art circles.”.
The suggestion was sowed as an idea of curiosity in the man’s brain, and he started wondering if this is something he has been overlooking all these years. There is just no way to ignore a friend; he starts looking at the painting with an eye that he hadn’t seen anything in for a long time. He perhaps realized that there could be much more to this piece than he was thinking due to his friend’s insight. Could it be that his junkyard find was truly something special? As a matter of fact, he could hardly get the idea out of his head despite his slight skepticism. At this time, the painting had become such a standard fixture in his life that he hardly noticed it anymore, but suddenly, he wanted to know where it came from.This was the starting point of a journey towards an incredible revelation.
