The Painting


The Thriftstore Painting



The Thriftstore Painting

In 1983 Sam DeNisi found a painting at a Niles area thrift-store.

DeNisi would often times search Goodwill and Salvation Army stores for interesting items. So when he came across this painting he liked it.

The painting was buried under a bunch of random frames and tossed among other canvases. But when he saw what was written on it -- he knew he had to have it.

It was dated "1964" and written along the bottom of the canvas were the words "Dewey Lake Monster."

On the back, along the wooden frame, was written the words "It lives in Sister Lakes Michigan" and "I saw the devil."
