Saturday Is For Art


LEVEL PLAYING FIELD OUT THE WINDOW measures 12"x9" and is painted in acrylic. But what does it mean to say level playing field out the window? All week we read and listen to people that either talk on TV or write articles in newspapers and magazines about the financial crisis and the resulting recession that has hit our economy. And, while it is never said, everyone knows that this financial crisis was man made, it was not an act of God, or Mother Nature. People on Wall Street lobbied Congress to throw out the rules that had guided this country since The Great Depression. The balance that once existed between the borrower and the lender, the broker and the investor, the bankers and the public-at-large was thrown out the window. Now Congress, or more accurately, the members of Congress act like it was all Wall Street and their greed that resulted in the bond market meltdown and the recession that followed, but the truth is, Wall Street could not have accomplished what they wrought without the help of Congress. The Level Playing Field was thrown Out The Window, and Congress, represented by our flag in the picture, watched silently as it all took place. This is the meaning of LEVEL PLAYING FIELD OUT THE WINDOW. Anyone interested in purchasing the original painting already framed can contact me through comments. The price delivered is $750.

That's $750.00 dollars, not $750,000 or even $7,500. When you buy a painting, it is like buying a zero coupon bond. The value pays off at maturity. Maturity, worst case, is after I am dead. But, you got to figure the age of the artist (66) and his probable maturity date (date of death). If you are lucky, the artist's work goes up in value before he is dead. In which case you can make a profit sooner. But don't buy my work if you don't like it, because you will have to look at it for a while. :)
