For The Love Of Art

Does anyone know Dave May?

There's one thing we know about him for sure...

he enjoyed art.

He may have resided in Toledo, Ohio.

Well, we do know one more clue surrounding this mystery...

this belonged to him at one time.

An ordinary wooden box?

Hardly!

The paint splatters told of a life filled with art.

When James spotted it at an antique store...

he was drawn to it like that moth to the flame.

Closed wooden boxes are somehow surrounded by thoughts of treasure and adventure.

Upon opening, James found miscellaneous

old art supplies.

He just so happened to have purchased some acrylics

and paint brushes recently...

Now Dave May's Wooden Paint Box

houses a mix of old and new.

There's more...

The suspense mounts...

a secret compartment lies beneath.

A place to hide all his finished masterpieces. He's eyeing it up...

He can barely wait to get at it!

Twelve-year-olds.

The adventure of a lifetime!
