I've had my eyes open for something from my growing-up years that I hope isn't lost to me forever... maybe one of you can help?

Hanging in our kitchen my Mom had a really neat, rustic-looking piece of art. It was made to look like a wood carving that measured aprox. 16" X 20" and hung on the wall. The heavy resin "carving" was dark brown and was a "still relief" showing the corner of a table with a large mixing-bowl that had a wooden spoon handle sticking from out of it. There were a couple of broken eggshells resting on the table alongside of the bowl and in the background was a skillet hanging on a hook. The composition looked very much like a cake batter or some such was in process. The "carved" artist's signature in the bottom right-hand corner read: "Kelly".

I know that Mom got this piece by trading S&H Green Stamps for it... after many years thru some weird family events it was somehow lost. I would love to find another today- I know more have to exist somewhere. I've posted similar queries elsewhere and have looked time and again on e-bay.

Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? Ideas?

Your description sounds soooo familiar CAG! My mom also used S&H Green Stamps (Gosh you are bringing back great memories there!!!) I will keep racking my brain and looking into this and will let you know when and if I can remember anything (Worse comes to worse I'll paint you one, there's more than one way to kill a bird!)

Cool, by the way my Eddie is some better, what a scare, and he got to eat yeah!!! Tonight I hope to get some sleep so I will look forward to your reply......tomorrow. LOL

I got little to no sleep the past 2 nights due to him suffering so!

I know it is right in my mind the painting you are speaking of, it will come to me I know it will! Probably my Dad had one he sold at one time in all his wheeling and dealing, he was terrific at what he did! I loved to go with him on selling trips, I would just sit back and watch him in awe, he was always so upbeat when he was making money Ha-ha!

Kevin do a search on Cynthia Kelly and see what you come up with!!! Do not forget google.com and then go to images and type in her name, also just do an in-depth search on her; O.K. go find it BRO!

Let me know, I am pretty sure she painted in the styles you mentioned!


I love a good mystery:D
