" The Blue Girl " by Reg Mummery instantly caught my attention as this is so different from his usual work that Reg sells on EBay. The smoky eye look and colours are great. I was not able to catch colours into photo in it's full glory. I dont know about Reg as an artist but his usual work is British naive, kind of Lowry style. This one is different and I love it. I am so happy to own it. I only need to find frame for it. His works on Google Images

I was excied and happy to find this painting and even afford it.

This was my first art buy. Rest is history as they say. I am trying to buy originals but...well...how many regular people can afford Corot original? Jean Babtiste Camille Corot 1796-1875 http://www.jean-baptiste-camille-corot.org/biography.html I was drawn to this picture as it has depth and mystery in  it.You see landscape as far as "eye" can see...as if through Corot eyes and duplicated with romance. You can see the romance in this picture. On the reverse there is written " Tale of Terni" and number combinations 2395-180-411 and 722-14. I have no idea what those numbers are about.
