Charlene and I went up to Petaluma to see the Ruth Bernhard (Google search)exhibit at the Barry Singer Gallery. One of my problems with the "art scene" is personality often overshadows accomplishment. As we looked through some very nice images, but then looked at $5k price tags, I was struck by how I could spend a hell of a lot less to get images that would provide me at least as much enjoyment and support currently practicing artists.

I've personally commisioned and bartered for many pieces of original art from friends. When I have walls to hang things on, I prefer to hang things that have meaning beyond the pretty picture. And the meaningfulness has to come from me - not just from the artists reputation.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
