Thrift Store Painting Collaboration Continues - Judy Mandolf

I purchased a framed print by the artist Judy Mandolf from Hidden Treasures Thrift Store (2915 Pentagon Dr, Minneapolis). The print, 'Purple Tub,' is part of a "bathroom series created through a combination of photography and computer techniques." The image shows a purple/blue bathtub in a yellow/green bathroom.

Priced: $4.99 

I painted a rubber duck on the print and returned this 'new' artwork back to the same thrift store on 04/22/2024, around 12:40pm. A successful collaboration!

Thanks, Judy, for your contribution to the work!
