I was in Phoenix for Thanksgiving, visiting family and friends.

One day we visited the Phoenix Art Museum and while browsing the 2nd floor exhibits I came across the famous Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington.

Of course I was familiar with the portrait, but had no idea where it resided. I would have bet on one of the Smithsonian museums - but nope, it's hanging in Phoenix.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

What a pleasant surprise, nickelsearcher! Yes, I also would not have expected it to be in Phoenix (no knocks against Phoenix).
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

nickelsearcher, I could imagine how you felt at first glance at this painting, especially not expecting a famous painting in a hot oven as Phoenix can be...

The original is in Boston. This is one of the 100+ copies he made (one of the early great American entrepreneurs )
