It's good to have some common ground. I don't think she'll ever be a card collector, though, or a really serious sports fan.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-78251388009577855012016-05-14T21:44:55.236-06:002016-05-14T21:44:55.236-06:00Yeah, I think sometimes we get locked into collect...Yeah, I think sometimes we get locked into collecting habits that perpetuate themselves even after they no longer reflect our interests. That happens to me sometimes with things like retail packs, group breaks, and my comic book subscriptions.<br /><br />It is nice that Soukup has reached out to me a few times with information and generosity.<br /><br />I guess my wife can keep the painting as long as we share the computer room. If I made a big enough stink about it she would probably give it back.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-85826846263427553192016-05-14T10:35:37.909-06:002016-05-14T10:35:37.909-06:00Wow.

I'm not sure what's cooler... the fact that your wife shares an interest in these fine arts or the actual paintings themselves.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-62905397891136718002016-05-13T20:18:00.936-06:002016-05-13T20:18:00.936-06:00The part you mentioned about feeling good when you...The part you mentioned about feeling good when you look at the paintings is really the most important thing when it comes to collecting, unfortunately a lot of us buy things on a regular basis that don't end up bringing us any real joy.<br /><br />It's nice too, that you are able to have some contact with the artist and be able to find out what he was feeling/thinking when creating the piece of art that you like so much.<br /><br />And as far as your wife stealing your painting goes--maybe she was just trying to get you back for stealing her heart?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.com
