New Piece in My Collection

Yesterday was a busy day.  Started by meeting my friend ” A” at 9:30 for coffee and studying.  We met near Old Town at a famous bakery.  We then drove into Old Town and had a light lunch and margaritas on the plaza.  I always love going to Old Town and I miss living so close.  I wish I had this house in my old location.  After studying, lunch, and margaritas, we shopped.  I haven’t bought any art in over a year and I was overdue. I have been collecting art for well over 20-years.  I had heard about a piece this one gallery owner had coming in. I have always wanted a bronze. I collect nudes. So now I will be the proud new owner of a bronze nude.  The piece is by Bill Mack of the mid-west. Exquisite is how I will describe it!  I had to put it on lay-way as this is the only way I can afford to purchase such nice pieces.  I expect this to be a good investment too.  She is actually in a frame and sits three dimensionally perched on a stainless shelf.  She can also be taken out of the frame and sit free standing on a table top.  It will be a few months before I am able to get her out of hock!  I may not have a lot of money, but I do have an enriched life and am surrounded by beautiful things and wonderful people!  “A” came home with me and we both took a power nap.  Those were strong margaritas!  His girlfriend “B”, Buella, came over later and we all visited in the courtyard.  I had to kick them out so I could get ready for a late night appointment.  He was an interesting young man and a jack-of-all-trades.  I enjoyed his company and hope I made a new client friend.  Thank you Jerry!  He made comments on how tender and sweet I am. I think men expect me to be this hardened and  jaded old woman, but that is so far from from what I am in person and from the core of my being!
