My Colossal Purchase

So, I bought a painting.

There is an annual sidewalk showcase of local artists sponsered through MWPAI, and I go every year.

So last Friday night, clad in my fabulous dress, I went solo. And you know what? There's no one else I would've rather gone with. I was free to do whatever I wanted, so I did just that. And when I left, I was $600 poorer but not empty handed.

I picked up an acrylic painting of Rome's Colosseo. And being I just got back from there, I fell in love with it. I don't know too much about the man who painted it other than he has other paintings featured in the museum and that he's extreeeemely talented.

I will always have this painting as a reminder of my trip and what I saw while I was there. And I love that it's original. I'm not the kind of person who can find happiness within an arid print...or something that everyone else has.

It looks great against the orange walls.
