Risk in Art. The Comfort Zone.
There’s an art piece I labored over posting but that piece got the strongest reaction and ‘sold’ very quickly. The reason sold is in quotes is explained in a separate entry. When I looked at the piece I liked it, a lot. I like the texture in the turquoise, I like the…
It’s All Black and White
