No Accountin' for Taste...

[Kathryn Klos]

Monday's episode of "Antiques Roadshow" included the appraisal of a wonderful painting of two fishermen in a bark canoe. The owner of the painting obviously had zero appreciation for it-- rather amazing. Would be interesting to know what sort of art appealed to her.

So, this painting will probably be available to anyone who has a lot of money. And it will be appreciated.

Here's the segment:

I love that painting, to think all those years in the closet.

What some consider ugly, others consider beautiful....I was trying to figure out what type of bark canoe it might be????....any thoughts????....from looks wondering if Ojibway or Algonquin or other Woodland tribe????

Hey now there is an idea. I'd only have to live another 13 thousand years to pay it off with my S.S.

Here's another classic painting of calling moose from a birchbark canoe (by Phillip R. Goodwin) that might be a cheaper gift, Dennis. But just as nice!?

Watch 45 seconds into the auction video.
