This has been a good week for art. I gave a well recieved presentation/lecture this morning on artistic composition, and we had our best sales week ever. Four drawings and four paintings found new homes. I have photos of all the dearly departed, though some are only on slides and others only on the 3 inch computer disk. Guess which external disks the new computer doesn't have. Oh well ..........

Here are photos of the two of the paintings:





Also gone to new homes was the watercolor "Sentinal" which hung for a long time in our ustairs office, and the large but untitled cloud shrouded mountain that we had in the Master Bedroom. Since I don't have photos, and the titles probably wouldn't mean much, I can only say that all but one of the drawings were older. Two were pen and ink, one of which was the preliminary drawing for "Coming of the Iron Horse" (I think the buyer will be returning to buy the painting for a premium price ... cross your fingers). The other two drawings were an oil pastel on paper and a pencil abstract. All of the drawings were matted and framed, two of them were only framed earlier this month. Frames count a lot. The oil pastel was a landscape in the portrait mode, and the pencil drawing was "Jerico". "Jerico" was one of Natalie's favorites, but $100 is after all $100.
