The Last Thing That You Acquired #30.  

Hello darling SDR,
The larger piece I think is a photograph taken in downtown West Palm Beach, and stretched over a wooden frame. I don't think that it needs an additional outer frame, but if it does...somebody needs to let me know. The smaller work is probably a print, but I have limited knowledge of art. I'll post a close up of both.
Cheerio,
Your Aunt Mark

Oil portrait
Signed T. Houting(?), 1972

and the other
needs a new mat and a glass cleaning on both sides. The frame is acceptable. I'll drop it off this weekend at the local framing store. It's probably trash art, but I like it.
Hi,
Aunt M.

I just picked up this
partial set of Studio Linie Rosenthal dishware by Emilio Pucci for 115 USD. Over the moon, as they say.

Those are splendid Riki.
Wow.

Thanks, Mark,
but your cat tray wins, obviously. No one came chasing after me with these dishes.

Love That!
Riki

Hi woody.
Is that Beiber?

Aunt Mark

oops, I meant Justin...
oops, I meant Justin Bieber?
Hi.

Mark
I believe it's a woman... but close enough.

Emilio Pucci
Riki,
Nice set. I do enjoy Emilio Pucci. Congratulations.

woody, I was teasing.
She is lovely.
Best,
Aunt Mark

Im starting to realize
that what I like best about woody's painting collection is that he picked them, and the paintings usually get stronger when seen in the context of his collection.
Most of them stand on their own too, but its interesting to see what you choose woody, and to get a sense of why you were drawn to a particular painting.
It seems very consistent somehow. Im not sure I can explain it yet, or even want to.

Today the gals from the resale store
wanted me to buy these masculine snappies.. How could I resist??
ashamed.. but then,
Aunt Mark

Choke, Inhale, etc...
