Okay, here is a couple of velvets I recently passed on. I didn't get a chance to get a picture of them on here before I sold them so here they are to check out.

First one is of a young boy with a lei around his neck. It is signed in the corner "MIN". It measured about 15"x18" with the original old frame. It had an old 'How to Clean' label on the back along with another paper label that read "MIN-TONGE ART SALON 317 WEST PENDER STREET VANCOUVER 3, B.C.".

The next one is of a wahine that measured about 20"x24". It was signed (not sure of spelling-hard to read) on the lower left side by what looks like "Min Sjo??oth"?? but as I said was hard to read.

The boy was was done very well and the girl wasn't too bad just not as detailed as I like. Just don't have the room to keep them all unfortunately.

Mahalo, TabooDan
