Seeing Stars

I know it's cheesy to blog about such things, but who doesn't sneak a peek at US magazine once in awhile? So, please forgive me. I can't help myself. Last week Susan Sarandon purchased two of my prints, and I am just tickled. It's funny because we read so much about famous actors and actresses, but we hardly ever get a chance to see what kind of artwork they might be drawn to. Can you guess which celebrity purchased which artwork?





And here is the artwork...


"Okay to Be Different" (print)


"Adagio" (original painting)


"Room for Everyone" (print)


"February" (original painting)


ANSWERS:
Susan Sarandon purchased the two prints "Okay to be Different" and "Room for Everyone." Julia Roberts purchased the original painting, "February." And Owen Wilson is the proud owner of "Adagio."

I didn't get to meet Susan or Julia, but I was there when Owen Wilson started pulling "Adagio" off the wall at the Ten Women Gallery holiday party. I was outside chatting with my friends when I went in and asked, blushing beet red, "Can I help you with anything?" and he said "I'd like to buy this one." Of course, I was more than happy to bring it up to the cash register -- and my mom ran up to him and said "Oh, that's my daughter's painting!" I'm surprised she didn't ask for his phone number. : ) He was really cute in person, and quite a romantic, it seems.

Sigh.

Of, course, I think that everyone who purchases my artwork is a STAR! And I thank you all for being so supportive and for helping me to keep doing what I love. Have a beautiful weekend (it's snowing here in New York).
