Funky and Frugal Finds Monday #9
Except that it is 4 days late (because I forgot to publish) oops! And it is not funky nor frugal. I have not been thrifting is 3 weeks! I think I am having withdrawal. The hubbs was concerned I was shopping to much...hmmm. So instead of going out thrifting, I have managed to to do a little online auction shopping. He didn't say I couldn't do that. AND if he NOTICES anything new I will tell him I got it from an auction site. I just won't volunteer the info, HA! Besides he has his "mad money" and he doesn't like when I tell him how to spend his. I have mine and I will uses it how I see fit. So there!
Anyway here is the art print that I got into a bidding war over. I am very competitive and like to win!

| Ray Eyerly (c) 1966 |
Which I obviously did several weeks ago. I didn't think UPS was ever going to deliver it! I wish you could see the detail in this transfer print. It amazes me that the original pen and ink drawing was so finitely detailed! While I am not huge fan of the western art genre this particular piece spoke to me! Unfortunately I spent more than I wanted to but HAD to have this. It is still within the price range for this particular artist prints, was professionally framed (Western Picture Frame Co. in Oregon) and most of all I LOVE it! Ray Eyerly was a self taught and prolific artist. There are conflicting reports if he was born in Canton, Ohio or Canton, Illinois. He relocated out West (Sisters, Oregon) You can read more about him HERE and HERE
Nothing is more country, cozy, farmhouse than a barnyard!
