I'm now a certified collectible

I had a birthday recently, and not long after that I was rooting around on eBay, and came up with the neatest find. Under the eBay auction title Jacquie Roland -Actress, was this nifty little auction.  Damn. One little birthday now-a-days will push you right on over the edge.  I'm now, according to eBay, The Baltimore Sun and the Tribune Photo Archives... a collectible. Certified. With a certificate of authenticity.   *sigh*  It could have been worse... at least they didn't list me as an antique.

Cuervo - HALLMARK

This is one of my Hallmark cards... today a friend sent me a photo of it in a display in El Paso Texas. On the outside it says " A Loteria card... how nice"..
inside: " Next time you'll learn to be more specific when you ask for Cuervo for your Compleanos !"

Topsy-Turvy

Many folks have mentioned how much they love this painting, RIVERDANCE , the original of which was sold at last year's 5X7 Show at the Kleinert Gallery in Woodstock.   I made a print of it for myself, an 8x10 gallery wrap, which I showed along with my originals at my studio tour this month. Few folks realized that it is what I call a "Topsy - Turvy", or two paintings in one.  I do these for fun. As you can see, if you turn the little devil upside down, and 'refocus' ... the painting becomes FROSTY FARM MORNING.   I'll probably make a few more of this type this year. :-)

*sigh*

After such a busy few months... Mother Courage & her Children are enjoying a quiet morning, here in the Hudson Valley. :-)
