BUST FROM A GARDEN IN MARBLEHEAD....MY HOME TOWN...ALSO MY FAVORITE BUST!! |
I love antiques and old paintings and furniture. i was born and raised in marblehead ma, I can trace my ancestors in Marblehead back to 1850. I love things that are old and i had a true learning and appreciation of old things from my up bringing in marblehead, a true historic town. It wasn't until I traveled to europe in the late 80's did i realize that we live in an old, old, world, with lots of beautiful things from the past. Followers of PATTY P HERE know i have a passion for American Portraiture from the 18th and 19th century. I am always on the lookout for beautiful old things from the past.... Posted here is my new mission, to find a perfect bust for both my home, and my garden. As you can see....I have looked at the best, but, i have also found that beauty is also found in ones own backyard........ The last picture says it all......
The perfect bust, in someone's own backyard in my home town....
PATTY P loves her hometown.
