Yesterday, a very interesting guy came to our door. His name is Oz (rhymes with “toes”), and he’s an art student from Israel, soon to transfer to U.T. He and some friends had tried selling their art in galleries, but the gallery’s cut was really high, so they decided to try selling door-to-door. How enterprising!
After looking through the paintings he had with him, Karianne, Kaeta and I decided that we really liked this one of a field of sunflowers. Oz told us the scene was painted in Tuscany.
It’s a very nice oil painting, about 3ft. by 2ft., and I think we got a good deal. Kaeta seemed really interested in the painting, and her room is yellow and has a blank wall, so that’s where it’s going!
Of course, I totally neglected to ask the name of the painter or the painting, so if she becomes famous we’ll never know! Oh, well, we like it for its intrinsic value, and isn’t that enough?
