Have you seen this painting of a ballerina?

A Steveston resident is hoping the community can help reunite her daughter with a beloved painting.

Kelly Derricott recently made a callout on Facebook for the return of a painting of a ballerina that was accidentally left on a free pile outside her home on Sixth Avenue in Steveston.

The painting, which has a wooden frame and depicts a ballerina dancing against a turquoise background, was a gift to her daughter from her now-deceased grandfather.

"My daughter is heartbroken!" reads Derricott's Facebook post.

According to Derricott, the painting was picked up by a person in a van with the words "gutter cleaning" written on the side on Wednesday, May 10 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Derricott is offering a $100 reward for its return, and anyone with information on the painting's whereabouts is asked to contact Karen Larson at 604-970-1539.
