In addition to the Indian Peepal leaf paintings that I mentioned seeing at the yard sale in Kingston, I also saw this framed Indian art, which caught my eye. I took a close look, and to be honest, I couldn’t tell whether it was an original painting or some type of print. It had the … Read more
I was in Kingston, New York on Sunday for the Spring Market edition of Field + Supply, and enjoyed the afternoon. As I was leaving town, driving west on Broadway to get to the New York State Thruway, I noticed this house, above, with a “yard sale” sign out front. While it seems to be … Read more
I’ve long had an interest in clown paintings, and have seen plenty at thrift shops and antique stores, and actually bought the one (above left) at an antiques store in New Paltz, New York. I’m also attracted to saxophone-related art, since I used to play the saxophone myself – I bought the painting (above right) … Read more
I was in Lambertville, NJ over the weekend, exploring some of the antique stores, art galleries and book stores. When I was in one of the antique stores (it was either “A Touch of the Past” or “The People’s Store,” I don’t recall which one), I saw this unusual piece tucked away on a shelf … Read more

It’s hard to know if this message was written by the graffiti artist who painted the tag below it, but considering the abstract expressionist nature of the graffiti, I like them paired together for … Read more
I went to Mexico City on vacation about 10 days ago, and on my first day, I was wandering around the Zocalo, when at one point I noticed a crowd of people surrounding other people behind a metal barricade. When I noticed people taking pictures of this person, the woman shown above, it made me … Read more
On my first day in Mexico City, I didn’t have a lot of specific destinations, but rather just started walking and exploring and seeing whatever I happened upon. While walking down a pedestrian zone called Madero Street (and not knowing any of the history related to it), I saw this sculpture of a man on … Read more
