PPF - Round Wood

Hi all!! Glad to be back in PFF! Some technology updates are allowing me to blog once again now that I am away from home more...

THis is a piece I have been particularly fond of, but which sold last weekend in Hot Springs. I was very happy it sold because it seemed to belong to someone, but also am sort of sorry to see it go!

 Speaking of Hot Springs, there actually was a Civil War reenactment! It was an amazing thing - men in costumes shooting at each other. I know that in the South where I live this sort of thing takes place, but I had never been even within shouting distance of one in the past, regardless of my curiousity about it. I mean, do they reenact battles just as they appear? Do they make wishful-thinking battles where the South really won?

Speaking of U.S. politics (after a fashion) today was the election and I, thus far at 1:07am Nov 7th, have no idea who became president of the U.S. Possibly nobody else does either --- but I certainly don't! I am playing a little game whereby I try to see how long I can go without finding out. I have told Jim not to tell me and am sort of eschewing YouTube, email, etc - anything that might tell me. For no good reason other than curiosity. How long can one go without knowing? Not terribly long, I expect...

Hope all are having a great day!

It is always nice to sell a piece of work,but I know what you mean about a sadness when it goes. Hope you have a good day.

Oh dear! I almost told you who won, until I read the part where you are trying not to know for as long as you can... I really like the piece. I just went to a gallery at Descanso Gardens where they had art mainly made with found wood. I think your piece would have fit right in!
