I have a Cezanne poster from the AGO that I really like, don't really need to say I will never be able to afford the original (unless my lotto numbers come up).Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424592942558764840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291649238761960949.post-83122903709781162652008-04-02T09:32:00.000-07:002008-04-02T09:32:00.000-07:00Brilliant post.

Though in my defense, it was a reproduction of a Hoffnung cartoon, which I knew I would never be able afford, were I to find an original).<BR/><BR/>And very belated Happy Birthday!

I thought they could find something great, at least a limited edition print directly from an artist with that money instead, but I guess getting it all under one roof is convenient.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424592942558764840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291649238761960949.post-70189278874056380372008-03-19T07:59:00.000-07:002008-03-19T07:59:00.000-07:00What a great post!

It is a bit discouraging at times tho, that people are purchasing these mass produced pieces when there is other affordable art to be had. Anyhoo, Happy Birthday! What was she doing with all those knobs? lol Maybe some assemblage? Maybe she's an Ikea artist junkie...ok I'm going now. lolPennyBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14151206165072459120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291649238761960949.post-84440184215458355172008-03-18T04:08:00.000-07:002008-03-18T04:08:00.000-07:00Happy Birthday!Nothing that brings bliss like that...Happy Birthday!<BR/><BR/>Nothing that brings bliss like that is sad!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291649238761960949.post-5208837064945584712008-03-17T20:13:00.000-07:002008-03-17T20:13:00.000-07:00Forgot to say "happy birthday" first time around. ...Forgot to say "happy birthday" first time around.

I have heard that purchasing art gives you a kind of high you rarely get from other 'retail experiences' (except maybe sofas :) and can become quite addicting. Send all addictive personalities who like art in my direction!<BR/><BR/>And Happy Birthday!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364011769128646998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291649238761960949.post-2389041557595882702008-03-17T15:30:00.000-07:002008-03-17T15:30:00.000-07:00Well, Ellen, I think you nailed that!(Really MUST ...Well, Ellen, I think you nailed that!<BR/><BR/>(Really MUST work on a lino block so will click Bill Braun when I stoop for dinner.)dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.com
