She is well known in the Orange County area and donates many pieces to charitable events where they are auctioned off for thousands of dollars. There was even a tiff at one event where two people wanted the same painting so she ended up painting a second one and the charity was the recipient of the sale of both paintings. I am very fortunate to be her personal charity case and unless you see them all hung throughout the house and the casita, you can't appreciate how great they really are. Now I have to get busy and paint the accent walls she is suggesting I do. Ralph Lauren just came out with the most beautiful metallic paints and I bought a gallon of gold so I am excited to get started. I just have to wait for Riley to be home. Since the ceiling height is 14' at least, I don't want to be that high on a ladder with nobody around in case there's a problem :)
More good news as well. I had a call this morning and I think my Jazz tickets have sold. Yeah!!!!! I'll know for sure when I have the check in my hot little hand next week. The great Jazz news of the day was that they have signed D. Will to a four year contract extension. That should mean the Jazz will be contenders for the next few years. They'll have to get Booze and Mehmo resigned next year but hopefully that won't be an issue.
Now we just need to get our other house sold or rented and the week will end on high note. We did have a call yesterday from our Realtor relative to both issues. There may be one of each of those interested. The people on the sale side have contacted us on two previous occasions in the last six months and we know they love the place but we're not interested in bottom feeders. We'll just have to see where it goes but I'm not holding my breath.

The kids had fun this afternoon figuring out the dimensions of the canvas' that you purshased. A tape measure privided lots of entertainment...who knew! Jessica and i agreed that a gold wall or wall in you place will look fabulous! And certainly hope the ladder did not wiggle.
I would really like a smaller one like yours with all circles. It was behind the Christmas tree when we were there. I love that one.
Hey Jen
Yep, it used to be over by the bar when you were here. I really like that one too. My newest favorite is the one in my bedroom. I don't think you've seen that one and I didn't post a picture. When you guys get here for the basketball game in October and again at Christmas, there should be all sorts of new art hanging around!
