rescued art

Salvaged from
dusty garages,
basements,
attics,
thrift stores,
estate sales,
and roadside stands,
these creations
from the brushes
and pens
and charcoal
and chalk
of artists past
have gained
a rare chance
for a second life
in new homes.


Thanks to Rodney Parrott and his rescue mission for art. Now, I hold the book in my hands, savoring not only the stories written of the people who had the art or the places where the art was found, but also enjoying the photos of the artworks at the heart of the tales.
I've even checked out a few of the pieces, and a few others, on the website.
Who knows? I just may find a stray to bring home someday.
