Hello.

I'm an old oil painting with an unknown past.

Nobody knows who painted me.

I've spent decades hanging quietly on a wall.

Now I have a rather ambitious plan.

Every painting has a front.

Mine has a story on the back.

Back of the painting

Old canvas. Old wood. A few handwritten marks.

And more questions than answers.

There is a story about how I may have found my way to my owner.

But we're both so old, we can't remember.

So for now, my past remains exactly what it is:

unknown.

MY CRAZY IDEA.

My owner now lives in a care home.

And I know where I want to go.

What if I could become worth $1,000,000 — and help pay for her care?

I'm probably not worth a million dollars.

But if I could be — even once —

I could do something rather wonderful.
