| ... just have the willingness to admit it and I think folks here will be a bit more receptive." I would agree if that were the case. If I bought everything on potential profitability, I would take a van down to the flea market, and fill it full to the brim with whatever I could cram in, and then dump it on the net. I would never know what any of this stuff ever was, if I didn't see the artistic value first. I leave hundreds of things behind every week, that doesn't reach out and grab me. I've probably passed up thousands of dollars, because I didn't see the art ... | |||||

Then I added some pics for Robert to show that I have sold classy items, and these aren't just Sanford and Son nick nacks. Like that 1920's Pontiac Indian Chief radiator cap. didn't mean to get so carried away. There's just so much artistic intelligence and knowledge here, I really like to get involved in it. | |||||
| Here's a nice one | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | onegroovydude | General discussion | |
| Here's a nice one I had this bird for around two years, but just sold it recently. I would have posted it here, but I didn't know you guys liked pottery back then. This is a very rare Raymor Bitossi Peacock. Highly oversized. Around 24" long x 16" high. Only a few pieces in this pattern are noted, and are around 5" long. It really could be a museum piece. I wish I wouldn't have got rid of it now...:( | |||||

| Page 49 Excellent Furniture Co. model 233. A modular wall unit / room divider. In teak veneer. Never seen this. didn't expect Aasbjerg would have designed one of these until I got this catalog. Attached is also a detail crop. (The flickr set linked in the first post also has full res shots). | |||||

| . Sometimes there can be a surprise though, the house at the end of my street thats being renovated has white vertical siding, they stripped all that last week for a repaint and the cedar underneath was just amazing, looked lovely with the new alumnium windows, stopped and spoke to the painters and they didn't even want to repaint it. But I like shadow and agree, the brightness of most homes now is overwhelming. | |||||
| Thanks Mark...! | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | onegroovydude | General discussion | |
| ... He couldn't believe it when the light turned green, and I dumped the shifter. It was on. The front end lifted up, and the sound was ferocious. He was looking ahead, then at me, then ahead, then back at me so fast. His face. Wow. That dude didn't know what to think, until we got to the next stop light, and he saw the SRT-10 emblem on the door. He was pretty taken back from a truck. | |||||

| ... sort through it afterwards. I am clueless, in a sense. Not clueless after I learn it. But I'm def. taking life how it plays out, not booking it first, then taking it. I read my history like a blind man reads braille. Hands on. I want to be out there turning over boxes, and rummaging to learn it first hand. I guess I just see it all as art, making it, owning it, dealing it. I don't have the time to differentiate it all into small secular groups. It's easier for me to just take it in all forms, because to be honest, I do take the good with the bad. It's not a ... | |||||

Thanks so much for pointing that all out. Especially since, like you know, I am a college teacher who has been teaching art as long as you have been alive, and doing art for longer than you have been alive, so this is a real eye opener for me!!!! YAY!!! I will have to hurry along and tell all of my students this new revelation! I understand now, and I guess I really didn't before. Thanks ... | |||||

Art, and music are my two greatest loves I've ever had. If I didn't have a love for everything that way, I would be selling 36" round wall shag hangings.. Hey.. did I just write that out loud...? No, but really, I do. Of course I want to make a profit, but the profit margin has never driven what I purchase, or don't purchase. I leave hundreds of things behind every week, that I feel nothing over, ... | |||||

| Nothing wrong with a bit of poetry. But aren't haikus meant to have seventeen syllables ? Maybe Mark's are modernist, free-form haiku . . . I just looked it up; yes, but also there are three lines, with 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. I didn't know that part when I made a few of these, 55 years ago . . . September haiku The beach, with water warmer than in June, deserted seagulls and shells | |||||
| Surely not Magritte | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| Surely not Magritte Magritte didn't use any iridescent paint as far as I know. He stuck to rather traditional "workman like" approaches as far as the paint application went. Also, all of his paintings that I have seen had a very matte surface finish, never shiny. (I say this without having seen the image yet) | |||||

| ... "thing with the dark black space" is an Aesthetic movement pier mirror. After the victorian period ended, women were experiencing more free time as artists. More people could afford curtains by then, instead of just the rich, so women would paint on these old pier mirrors they didn't need anymore. They're very rare now. It's in my bedroom, at my house in the country, against the corner of the wall. I use it to check out my outfits. I'll take snappies once I get down there. See, don't you want to call important historic items something other than just "that ... | |||||
| Woody | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | onegroovydude | General discussion | |
| Woody It has nothing to do with the buying and selling of objects for profit. I bought the art I did because I love it, and only realized other people did too, when I couldn't go south for the winter in 2002 to work, and needed to make some extra cash. I picked out a few things I thought I really could live without, and when the first item sold for $550, I thought I might have something there with all that stuff. My original goal was to just be a collector, and seal for a living, because that's what I was taught to do, but I didn't want to seal for a living. ... | |||||
