Lost wall art near Beale Street in Kingman, Mohave County.
Description
Last night, around 4:30 p.m., I realized my wall art was missing from my apartment in Kingman and I thought maybe I'd packed it away by mistake. The piece is a framed desert sunset, about 18 by 24 inches, copper frame, with a tiny nick in the glass. I must have left it on a bench near Beale Street while I stopped for coffee at a cafe by the Mohave County Library. I retraced the route along Beale Street and the parking lots, asking a few pedestrians if they'd seen a framed painting, but nothing turned up. This artwork has sentimental value; it was a gift from my grandmother, and I'm hoping it will be found by someone who recognizes it and will return it to the rightful owner.
