"art including paintings, drawings,"

Does that include advertising art? There's some great art in auto ads, especially some of the pre-WWII stuff!

This could be a great spot to learn more about some of my "wall-hangers." Here is a print that I picked up recently.

That's hilarious. She's thumbing her nose at the officer while covering the license plate. Looks like that car pre-dates license plates, though.

Here's our latest acquisition, by Chris Osborne. http://chrisoart.com She's well know for putting famous people in period scenes.

This is just the announcement thread. You are free to start your own posts in separate threads.

That car in Terry's print may predate state-issued plates, but it certainly doesn't predate plates that owner's would have been required to make.

Your painting turned out nice. This is the first time I've seen it finished. Usually automotive artists ruin paintings by trying to be a portrait artist as well. She did well on both in this one.

Are you suggesting sub-headings?

No. I mean... just as Terry started his own on his postcard collection, everyone is free to start their own thread about whatever they want.
