Weird Object Friday (week 5)

Weird Object Friday Week Five

My Grandfather Israel Volper was an artist

     My grandfather Ivy was a painter who was fairly well know in the Cleveland area .   When he died at the age of 96 in the year 1985, I was very pregnant with Ben.   This is one of many paintings I own that was painted by him.   I am presenting this as a weird object Friday post because his paintings were really quite unusual.   To see more of his body of work go here.   This link is a web album of his paintings that my dad is putting together.

  4. I checked out the gallery link; very interesting and distinctive style! You can get lost in some of those pieces (which to my untrained eye is a sign of success in art).
