The Chicken Man and the Flea Market

Over the past few weeks Mike and I have been (cheaply) looking for art to put on our walls.




Yesterday we made a stop by Ernest Lee "The Chickenman" to see if he would paint a picture of Tank. Not only did he paint the picture....












he gave us these 3 for free! We were extremely excited and it was well worth it!












A couple of weekends ago we went to the Barnyard Flea Market to see if they had any pictures. When we were arrived we were very excited to see everything was half off so we got two pictures for our bedroom, which was pretty bare. One is of the Battery in Charleston at night.








The other is a picture of a marsh and sunset. It was hard to show these pictures because my flash was bouncing off the glass and then when i turned my flash off you could still see the ceiling fan lights. Wish they were better.







Needless to say I think we did pretty well. We still have some bare walls, but they are coming along!!

Love the pic of Tank! Mom has Longfellow done by Ernest and I want Winston done! And you can find great paintings for great prices at the flea market! Dave has never been to the flea market - can you believe it!?
