<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 33370, member: 111"]Joe, have been aching to comment on your art purchases, but what you do with your money is really no one's business but your own, however, with the two very well-advised posts above, will just go ahead and add my two-cents. Your choices are all over the place - most collectors, regardless of their interests, start out with some questionable pieces, learning to cull over time (usually mumbling to themselves, "why on Earth did I buy this dreck?"), but if you're really trying to build a collection worth passing on to your daughters, would seem wiser to study, as suggested, both actual artwork and books on art (most libraries are filled with art books). As you study and learn, your tastes and your 'eye' will develop, you'll find direction as well as a feel for value, and then you can build a true collection rather than just a bunch of random pieces. Again, not really any of my business, but you do keep posting the stuff. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
