The Art Sale
Today, I want to tell you about my friend Thelma. She and I met in the early 70s after my family and I moved to Moline, Illinois, and we have been good friends through the years.
These days, she visits me in Florida in the winter, where we try to paint 2 oil paintings each week. I try to sell mine on the Internet and, thus far, she has refused to sell hers because she thinks they are not good enough.
This past Saturday, after much convincing and increasingly less storage space, Thelma decided to have an art yard sale and she sent invitations to all her friends. For the larger pieces she asked $20, and for the smaller ones $10. At the end of the day, she couldn’t believe she had made $740. It sounds to me like her friends really liked her art work!!
