Decided 26(!) of them were too good for charity so back in the house. One of them was by a Japanese painter, Masaaki Yamada, who went on to create Frank Stella type stripe paintings, and books to $170,000. But this was done in 1948, the year he started painting. <br /><br />Next, a very difficult signature turned out to be by Lester Boronda, grew up on a cattle ranch in Salinas, went to Paris, where this was painted. Smaller painting sold at Rago last year for $1875. <br /><br />Finally, watercolor portrait by a certain Dorothy Coulter, died in 1980, stunned to find out she is represented in the Met, Princeton Museum, Yale Museum and the Rhode Island School of Design! Born in New Mexico, taught at UNM. No auction records, so sent all the info to AskArt, and she now has her own page, just in time for her listing on eBay, from me.Scrota Vocenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-10411232449787341132020-04-07T13:08:12.503-07:002020-04-07T13:08:12.503-07:00Robert

I got these from a list published in the NYT like 5 weeks ago. Since I am a huge SF Giants, Warriors and SF Forty Niner fan having had season tickets to all three my whole life I am watching all the championships woohoo! I also read all the news websites endlessly. From 8 am till 3 pm week days I help my daughter Harper with her extremely hard home work. I walk the dogs everyday in my beautiful neighborhood and look at the gardens and landscaping for my own knowledge and ideas for my gardens. I really admire your home situation outdoors so intertwined with nature and your love of birds and photography. Stay well we will survive!.<br />mj<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-29017991691472276802020-04-07T11:18:08.022-07:002020-04-07T11:18:08.022-07:00Looks like I am really missing out on this russian...Looks like I am really missing out on this russian driver thing. will look into it.Blue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-61524405127539140642020-04-07T10:40:42.217-07:002020-04-07T10:40:42.217-07:00I'll spend time watching just about anything (...I'll spend time watching just about anything (whenever I'm not outside doing spring clean-up in the yard), but I'd guess my now-and-then fav is the foibles of apparently-mostly-drunk Russian drivers - although endless left-turn T-bones get redundant after awhile.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410439088299142773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-45411531712186198422020-04-07T09:00:59.683-07:002020-04-07T09:00:59.683-07:00Maybe in a couple days, that would be great.Maybe in a couple days, that would be great.Blue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-49939555470069261872020-04-07T08:23:53.984-07:002020-04-07T08:23:53.984-07:00Have you read Patrick Rothfuss, the name of the wi...Have you read Patrick Rothfuss, the name of the wind ?<br />I have a copy.

I am trying to only listen to one hour of news a day,so I am knitting compulsively while watching cooking shows. I will probably spend tomorrow complaining to my grocery delivery service which will at least keep me busyLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588431322157876639noreply@blogger.com
