The couple strolled through The Steven Boone Gallery front door like a spring breeze blowing in the April air.
They checked to see if the little painting they had seen the day
before was still hanging. Yes, and then the gentleman looked at me to
say, “We want this, and will you sell it without the tax?” They
went on to mention that they had a big painting of mine already. I replied,
“Since you are collectors, I will be happy to pay the tax myself.”
I am not usually in the gallery, so I am pleased to have met this couple . . . I enjoy having face-to-face experiences with collectors of my artwork.
The painting they bought is one I made
outdoors in the autumn of a little country chapel in the high plains
of New Mexico. (See Gushing Waters). They spoke of their extensive art collection and I
remarked how wonderful it must be to visit their home, and what a
delight for their friends.
These days, as the temperatures warm
and the air is balmy, we can leave the front door open so that people
on the street can simply walk inside as they tour Canyon Road.
Artwork hangs on the wall outside as an enticement, and the folks are
like bee's attracted to flowers.
