Hope by Ron Warford, 40' x 30 " Graphite on Black Board, Framed 
Mr. Warford's work was selected by the Smithsonian Institution for a national traveling exhibition in 1973. He was one of the initial founding and teaching members at the Folk Art Gallery in Syracuse. His work spings from his imagination and is masterfully executed. Tel (315) 391-5115 for more info or to purchase. One of the presidents of a local art guild referred to Ron's work as  "master works" for their power and quality.

Strength , by Ron Warford. 20 " X 30"  

Home is Where the Hearth Is by Jaws. This piece took 600 hours. Amazingly, to produce this the artist had to put the snowflakes  in first on a white fine piece of paper and then build everything around it. Think about it - this amazing work, and other pieces of the artists work can be seen at CNY Artists Gallery, which purchased this piece in 2013.

An Attic of Treasures – Oil Art Paintings

I am fortunate to live in the Northeast part of the U.S. where most houses have expansive attics. I went up in my attic the other day to look for an oil painting I had stored up there back a while ago. It took me a while pouring through all of my little treasures which I have accumulated over the years, but eventually I found my painting.


Coincidentally, the Duke of Devonshire was doing the same thing. Although he was slightly more successful in his attic finds than I was in mine. He owns a little place out in the English countryside called Chatsworth House. If you have watched the newest version of Pride & Prejudice, you’ve seen it.

At the end of the Duke’s rummaging, he came up with over 20,000 items for sale. Sotheby’s Auction House was more than happy to help the Duke facilitate and find new homes for his little treasures.

Among the items that went up for sale were a bow-shaped ruby and a diamond brooch which belonged to the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire. It was expected to bring £80-100 and sold for £8,500. The most expensive lot was a white marble chimney piece which sold for £565,250. The most unusual item was a Japanese lacquered table with legs covered in monkey fur.

At the end of the three-day sale, the Duke had made £6.5 million, at today’s rate in U.S. currency that equates to more than $10 million.

I am going back up in the attic now to try and find that little alligator purse I received as a kid on a family vacation in Florida. That should be worth something. By the way, does anybody have the telephone number for Sotheby’s?
