Useful (Sold)


14" x 28" oil on canvas

This sturdy little stool was made by my husband's great grandfather. It used to be a tall stool, but was shortened when we inherited it, all dusty and with only 3 legs intact, from John's parent's garage. It had been painted several times and we never tried to improve it. We thought it had a lot of character just how it was. It is still very useful.

My husband's great-grandfather used to make furniture from anything he could find out in the scrap pile. He also enjoyed carving wooden spoons. He was very talented.
