Civilization marches boldly forward....




Two of the original "Dogs Playing Poker" paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge sold at auction this week for $590,400.

I'm proud to have lived to see it!

I saw that news story today, too, Tom. Clearly I'm focusing on the wrong genre!

Inspired?

I always thought this an inspired work done as a tribute to Sargent's "Birthday Party"-sorry I don't have an image.

You know, I think it's time we planned a group portrait, since we spend so much time together every day!
