Let me stick a thorn in your toe to get you to tell the story :) You don't know fig-doodle about Temagami, indicator minerals, -or- How to get stains out of sisal rugs. (At least compared to my great uncle Tom Thompson.) Well, OK, he was not my great uncle either. But we did know the landlady, who when Tom could not pay the rent, took 150 of his paintings on plywood in lieu. After a time she burnt them. She regretted that later when someone pointed out to her that they were worth $150,000 a painting. I wandered once past a painting hanging in a hardware store window. It was in Red Lake, 1979. The painting was an oil on canvas of a group of geese taking flight as a flock flies by on high. The painter's signature was Carl Ray. The price being asked was $300.00. I did not buy it, but I was very drawn to it and debated with myself for a while about the purchase. About ten years later the painter was killed in a fight in Kenora. His paintings now hang in the McMichael collection and sell for about $50,000. Damn. I don't think I would sell the painting if I had it, though. *EC<:-}
