Holy crap, or better yet, holy shit! If there was ever a time to use a good, solid expletive this is it. Look what the mail carrier brought me today! Mark Penxa (previously mentioned), operating on a level of generosity that I can’t even fathom, sent me this painting from his series of 100 ballplayer portraits. Of course the photo above doesn’t do the real painting justice, but you can click on it to see a photo that does a little bit more justice. There’s still not enough justice, though. There’s never enough justice. I freaked out when I opened the cardboard sleeve that my mail lady handed me, so much that the cat fell off of his chair. This little beauty will reign as the pinnacle of my art collection as soon as I can matte and frame it. Until then I’m locking it away in the Secret vault. Thanks, Mark, you made my year!
