What a great find!!
On Saturday, I hosted my first annual garage sale in order to get rid of all the junk that I seem to acculate so easily. I made a lot of money and decided I ought to do it more often. After the sale, I took all the junk that didn't sell (which was a lot) to a thrift store to donate it. And while I was there, I did a little bit of shopping to replace all the junk I had gotten rid of. I came upon this beautiful painting and bought it for $8. I can't wait to get a new house to hang it in! I can't help but wonder what the story behind it is. If you know who this man is, let me know.

Great find! I love the frame. And also, thrift stores.
I think you found a long lost Hancock ancestor... Senior Conquistidor Jose' El Han~cock. *G* He was a hero to the spanish empire, until he discovered how great the winters were in Florida... as a result, he never left the sunshine state. His children became expert orange growers...and the rest is history!
Aunt Donna- I will be sure to tell people the story of my late ancestor when they visit my house. I think he was right about Florida winters.
Thrift stores ARE the best... unless absolutely necessary, I hardly ever buy anything new.
