Anyway at least we now know what really happened to Princess Diana. Not dead at all, the accident was a fake, she has been wickedly cast out by the royal family and has had to seek work as an artist's model somewhere in the USA.

I will certainly keep my eyes open for a bas relief last supper with a clock in the corner (upper right corner?? lower left???). With people looking on two continents surely you will achieve your dream.
I even know where to look--there's a place in southern Virgina called Concrete World that has the most gawdawful stuff in the universe. And, they do not confine themselves to concrete.

However, the mother of a friend of mine has a large collection of goose costumes that she makes at the senior citizen center. There's something for very occasion, and this is serious business for her. About 10 years ago or maybe longer the Dispatch did a feature story on haut couture for cement porch geese including designer wedding gowns and spangled cocktail dresses.

How absolutely WONDERFUL.
I have nothing against yard art, except when it is overdone. There was one yard in Burlington North Carolina that looked like a rather batty interfaith convention. They had an Our Lady of the Bathtub--upend a bathtub, bury a third of it, paint the inside blue and put a statue of the Virgin Mary in it. Very tasteful. Along with the VIrgin they had a Buddah, a Japanese lantern, figures of a woman bending over, mommy and baby ducks and a deer statue. Mowing that yard must have been a royal pain.
They also had a tractor tire painted white being used as a planter for magenta petunias.

Saw something on the TV a long while back that you'd like. Seems that two ordinary fellows had set up a nice charity -- they went around the country buying up bad art. They'd then run charity auctions where folks (like you :-) would buy the bad art. What the suckers, er, buyers did with all that bad art I don't know, but the guys did indeed donate all the proceeds of these auctions to various charitable groups.
As you might imagine, bad art was easy to come by in their travels, but the two fellows DID have standards:
1) no paint by number
2) no velvet

>As you might imagine, bad art was easy to come by in their travels, but >the two fellows DID have standards: > >1) no paint by number > >2) no velvet So what fun is that? Granted there is lots of bad art on canvas or paper (cf Barb's uterus paintings, the little kids with big eyes or anything painted by Thomas Kinkaid ) but the epitome of bad art is black velvet, particularly when Elvis is the subject. Elvis mitt Jesus is even better.
I too would draw the line at paint by number.
Linda
PS Just thought of another artist I despise, Bob Timberlake. He may be famous only in the south, but he is truly awful. He makes third rate versions of Andrew Wyeth paintings.

Lynchburg is in south central VA, Lebanon is in western Virginia, so it is unlikely that your parental units were near Concrete World.

I think the having the young woman in the position of a supplicant was a nice touch.
