Free * slightly * damaged oil painting

Yes, people throw out oil paintings.  Yes, it's a tad damaged here and there - but I still wouldn't throw out a nice oil painting!  Not the best art piece I've ever seen, but it's still something nice to look at.
And hey I'll face the truth - I certainly couldn't have done half as good a job as this.

If anything the damage gives it some shabby chic, some character... if you will.

It's actually sitting on a metal book stand, which I found at the op shop for $5.
