Sometimes Painting DO Write Home!

Back in July of 2010 I wrote a piece for Huffington Post Arts titled "Old Friends For Sale". In it I expressed "If only paintings, like kids gone off to college and beyond, could write home once in a while." Yesterday, one did.

Hello John,

It has been a while since I acquired "Queen of Hearts" from you at the Upper West Side flea market, but here she is sitting in California. She has traveled to Michigan and back and was in storage for a bit but now adds color and warmth to my home. Thought you would like to see her again.
