The latest news on my valuable painting

[bif]

So I negotiated with Christie's and Sotheby's and got the best offer from Sotheby's. They ;picked it up and took it to NYC. They framed it snd the painting is now touring India. My agent is going to show it to some special clients in New Delhi. Then it's off to London for an auction of South Asian art on October 26!

If you go to the auction house's calendar and scroll down to the auction on Oct. 26, you'll see my painting!

4. I have a question, how big is your painting?

I looked at it and just wondered. I'm sure it will sell for a lot.

10. Can't remember for sure but I think it's 36" x 48"

It's oil on masonite. It's the dark painting of a cathedral

How exciting that you have a treasure! I love art. I’ve spent most of my extra money over the last many years on art.

13. Can you provide some background on this?

Or perhaps just a link to a prior post of yours? I don't know if it's a painting you painted or a painting you found -- or even which painting it is in the auction link you provided. Thanks.

19. Is this just a portion of the painting?

Are you prohibited from show it to us?

[bif]

21. It's about 1/2 of the painting.

And no, I'm not prohibited from showing the whole thing. I just don't have a way of doing so.
