My folks are planning to move, so lots of things are getting packed up, put into storage, etc.
Today, while helping to move some oil paintings collected over the years from one storage unit to another (mostly due to moisture issues) I came across this abstract; A watercolor or acrylic paint on illustration board.
I said to my Mom, "Oh, look this must be one of Dad's watercolor's."
My Mom, with a grin said, "No.. take a look at the name on the back."
Much to my astonishment (and frankly shock) it had my name on it. "WHAT?! I painted this? I don't even REMEMBER painting this."
To which my Mom replied, "You were only 4 years old. Look at the date."
Sure enough, January 7, 1965!
Holy CRAP! This is an original of mine, rediscovered 49 years and 1 month later!
Wow... I'm... I'm still blown away!

*yanks off Van Gogh*
there we go, hang it here!
Could make for a good Rorschach test though.
