You never know what you will find when viewing art created by AESJ members. This large original hand painted “Thumbprint” is by artist Jill HH Lipka who envisioned this piece in a contemporary art collector’s home or in a law office or private investigator’s waiting room.

Do you know of anyone who would love to have this piece?

If you’d like to see the painting in person, it is currently hanging in the lobby of the San Joaquin County Administration Building in downtown Stockton (44 N San Joaquin St).

Dimensions: 48” high x 36” wide
Price: $275 (includes local delivery)
Available with AESJ and through jillhhlipka.com (http://jillhhlipka.com)
