Well, unveiling a painting with the press there and saying, 'I got it on E-Bay!' surely would not be very prudent, given the solemnity of the moment(but it sure would have been funny). (Nice framing, by the way
)
Years ago, People magazine did a story about my aunt who owns a huge modelling agency in New York and her more unusual models. In the bio, she mentioned that she and my mother were sent to an orphanage because their parents were too poor to feed them(that was for less than a week, but not mentioned) and that my grandfather was a longshoreman. My grandfather, all 5'2" of him, never worked the docks!!! He worked in the boiler room of the projects they lived in. But that doesn't make good copy.
