PURLOINED ART IN THE TROPICS

Midst  a  collection of interesting books, magazines and  paintings in  a secret  North  Queensland residence  , the  above  odd,  framed  picture  was  espied  on  a  wall  .  Wet  Paint ? The proud  owner explained   that  many moons ago she had visited  the Sydney Art Gallery  and   benches in   The  Domain parkland  had  been   painted , numerous  warning  signs placed  near  them.  When  she  nearly walked on  one , probably not far  from famous  Lady Macquarie's (uncomfortable sandstone)  Chair, she  picked it up  as  a   souvenir , brought it  home ,  had  it  framed ,  at   considerable   cost .
