When I put out an email to a few friends about the Precious Artifacts paintings series, Doug Shaw was the first to respond.

Doug chose a photo of a watch which had belonged to his father and then had a history of being unknown, discovered, then lost.  Doug has a great blog. I’ve followed his writing for some time and he always hits the mark on people and connections.

Read the story of the Doug’s Lost and Found watch in his words – he says it so much better than I can. Clue: The place name on the watch face is significant.
