Original artwork description:

This is a really interesting piece.

This old photo was mounted on heavy mat board then painted over with acrylics. Apparently they made the news in Hinton, WV in the early part of last century due to the neighbor's tongues wagging about a fire that nearly killed his wife and did kill his two children, and her one son.

Around the edges I put sliced lines from an old book about how to be a prostitute (I am not kidding) from the 1920s.

The entire piece is sealed under several layers of clear varnish.

My artworks are in happy homes around the globe in private and public collections.
My art is highly collectible.
I am a self-taught artist that produces artworks in my creepy basement studio in exotic Toledo, OH.


this is an original artwork listing direct from the artist to you.

Materials used:

acrylic painting on vintage photo mounted on mat board collaged around the edges with lines from a book all sealed under varnish
