    Farming is Hard Work by Stephen Huneck

    When Vermont dog artist Stephen Huneck took his life in January of 2010, he was facing financial hardships.  Sadly, his widow, Gwen, is still struggling to keep alive Huneck's legacy: Dog Mountain, Dog Chapel, and the 150 acre dog park open to dog lovers from around the world.

    In response to a $35,000 real estate tax bill due, Gwen has launched the biggest sale ever of Stephen Huneck's art.  With the coupon code SAVE you will receive 55% off all original limited edition woodcut prints, including the framing.   Visit the Stephen Huneck Gallery at Dog Mountain website for more information.  There is also a donation option where you can contribute whatever amount you want.

    Thank you, Meagan, for letting me know about this fundraiser.

    La Suprise, the long lost Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) that was discovered earlier this year in the corner of a British drawing room after missing for 200 years, sold at Christie’s this Tuesday for £12.36 million or $24.39 million.  This is a new world record Watteau and for any French
    master predating the advent of Impressionism in the 19th century.  (Click on image for larger view.)

    I think it’s the sweet little dog that pushed it over the top.
