Easter eggs, found canvas, found art...

Busy productive creative Easter weekend, two found canvas beasts that were left unloved, unused and unwanted in the street now brought back to life. one was white and untouched by paint, new besides the dirt of the street and the scars of weather, that one now has a giant daffodil growing on it. The second an unfinished unwanted seascape, a painting that really hadn't started before the artist gave up on it, and now covered in several layers of spray painted leafhearts and the freedom of just making marks and enjoying the flow of (spray) paint and the way it drips and runs over the canvas and indeed rocks - the original texture of the oil-painted rocks is still there, painted by whoever abandoned this canvas by their rubbish bin... graffiti walls ever changing, old canvas walls ever evolving... and today a beatbox has appeared on the canvas (as if by magic..). work still in progress... more layers yet to appear. Busy bank holidays and no time for Easter eggs and much else (besides breaks for radio shows and getting around town and to studios on time with no tube trains working on Easter Sunday) .

That other piece of art there was found on Sunday morning, actually the people who were throwing it out of their house were happy to see it being taken when they were asked if they minded it being taken from their rubbish. Seems they no longer wanted it and were happy someone else did, old family heirloom that they no longer wanted hanging around their home. Isn't it wonderful, what is it? The print is familiar, pre raphaelite? Frost And Reed of Bristol framed it as a limited edition print in 1909, just looked them up, they seem like some big deal New York/London art dealers now, back then they were smallfish from Bristol. Isn't it great, do love finding things/leaving things on the street, anyone know anything about it? Who is it?
