Last month, I went to a sale at an old school in Red Ridge, Michigan, and picked up this antique box. I love imagining the history of it, being a hand made box, and wonder what it was made to hold. It has a removable tray in the top. There was a larger one available that day, but I didn’t have room in my car to bring it home.

I’ve been thinking about not painting fish in trees anymore, but it is a theme that I love to play with, so I probably won’t quit for a while.

Also seen at NorthShore ArtScene. Thanks Joan!
