Received this today from Nancy. It has her characteristic style of outlined abstraction-controlled chaos. Look like windows to another world that can not be contained by those two boxes. I love the layers of paint she has used. I also received a chubby envelope full of fantastic trash-including pulverized mcdonalds packaging. thank you for your generosity Nancy:)…

Karen Champlin, Art Nation, sent this fab work: It's a rather small, but thick piece of cardboard - wonderful! I had to fetch it at the Heidelberg courthouse and had to open it to prove that there is no invoice included. The clerk wanted to know what it is worth, and she was lauging when I told her, that it meant a lot to me, but was really just…
