Ebay again (and again and again...)
In exactly the same way that I became the owner of Human Remains, I came into possession of this beauty.

I began a perfectly innocent search on Ebay for a photo frame and within 3 minutes was the owner of a 3 foot tall original painting of a ship, done entirely in shades of brown, with a gilt frame - classy!

Now, I like ships and I like the colour brown (make of that what you will) so I was more than willing to part with a mere £35 for such a masterpiece and waited with giddy anticipation for it to arrive.

Unfortunately, while my other half is fond of surprises, it turns out she is very much not fond of finding that 6 square feet of wood, liberally coated with a multitude of browns and surrounded by the cheapest frame the artist could lay their hands on, has materialising on the dining room wall... tsk, women!

nearly two years on it's still hanging there though... :)

Indeed!
That seems to be the opinion of all who clap eyes on it, though I always say I think it gives it character... in reality though, good frames are just too fucking expensive!

I fucking love that picture
if your missus insists it has to go then I will give it a good home!

Consider yourself
at the top of the adoption list. I'm pretty attached to it though so you may end up with a ginger, tattooed lodger too...

well, by the sounds of it
you have a reasonable collection of guitar pedals too, whereas I only have two and one is a tuner, so you might be welcome!
