Three original art finds in one weekend. Stars aligned.

I still in disbelief that I found three original art pieces last weekend. You can go to charity shops for months and all there is in art section are prints. Rest of the items in photo I picked up in different charity shops in the middle of this week.   Look at these! Jaguar painting is done with oil pastels and Tiger is a linocut print.  A lot of effort has been put to both of these and they have been mounted same way and also signed on the back. Handwriting is same on both. Although signature on on both of the artworks is under the sticky tape that holds mount in place...tried to remove it but it starts to rip into the paper of artwork. I think I only deciphered first name of the artist. Emily. Sadly I cant read out what the artist last name is.  But they are both so good! I am over the moon.
