The Art Factor: Britney Spears Buys A Painting By The Side Of The Road
Britney Spears bought an oil painting by the side of the road that apparently struck a chord with the pop star. The artwork depicted a romantic outdoor cafe table perfect for a couple--except it had two empty chairs!
On Saturday, Britney, who announced her split from fiance Jason Trawick two months ago, left a Target store and had her driver pull her SUV over near a Calabasas, Calif. strip mall where a vendor was selling paintings.
She instantly became captivated by an oil painting of a French street scene and stared at it in open-mouthed awe. When the seller rushed over, Britney, who was dressed casually in a tee shirt, sweat jacket, sweat pants and sneakers, bought the artwork and had her two bodyguards load it into her SUV.
The scene depicted in the painting might have had some poignancy for Britney, as it showed a beautiful European style street, an outdoor cafe, and a table for two where no one was sitting.
