Old artwork. New life.

Years ago, a friend of mine told me that one of the best places to find a painting surface was at the thrift store.
 He told me all about priming doors and the tops of tables to become elaborately decorated pieces. Bed sheets stapled to wooden planks would become cheap canvas as well. Last but not least, in the right hands, reclaimed artwork can have a brand new outlook on life.
Passing these two paintings recently, I was struck with inspiration and the concept of praying.  I couldn't help but bring them home with me. Enjoy.

The frames are to be refinished next.

What $2.99 got me...
