A man from Florida called me some time ago.
His father was a painter in the Santa Fe and Taos area in the 1970's. He made friends with lots of good local artists.
His own kids weren't all that interested in the artwork.
I don't know that there is anything earth shattering in the group but it will be fun to break it down on Friday and see what I actually have.
This is one of the paintings, by Dane Clark (b. 1934) an excellent artist who worked both in Hawaii and New Mexico.

Speaking of work, I drove to Los Angeles yesterday to pick up a Toshiko Takaezu plate I had purchased at auction. Took about three hours to get there. I left six or seven paintings with my friend John to sell at auction. Was tired of looking at them.
There was an auction going on when I got there and I had bid on a couple things. After I was done speaking with my friend I looked down and saw that I had been outbid on my purchase and left to go home.
Was a long trip home on the 91 freeway and I decided to stop at Vincenzo's in Lake Elsinore and have a late lunch. I looked down at my phone and to my consternation saw that I had actually won the item for 2k. I had bid $1600 and they had added the juice.
Now I get to make the same six hour drive tomorrow.
What an idiot!
