getting better and mostly resisting acquiring new stuff.
someone i know is selling off his ruth ford paintings, and i wish i cd snap them up. esp as- a. he needs the money and b. i know he’d give me as good a price as he cd.
fortunately, he’s asking prices designed to lift her value. i hope he succeeds, as i own a doz of them. her work is soooooo under valued, but she was so prolific. she sold them cheap in her lifetime, cuz she just wanted to paint, paint, paint, and travel and paint. and had plenty of money.
