Re: “If it's really an oil painting on wood then it's an original and we did extremely well...”It does look like it's on wood or some other textured surface. We can't tell for sure because the painting is glassed-in in front and papered over in back. I don't want to remove the paper so the mystery of what, exactly, the painting is will probably go unsolved. (I'll have to look into identifying the artist. Unfortunately, I can't make heads or tails out of that signature.)

There were two auctions tonight and we mostly lost out. I was willing to go $152 on a sterling silver pitcher, but two others were bidding and it went for $227. C'est la vie. It was the same story on the TV cabinet, the computer desks (yes, there were two) and the geode bookends. We were priced out.

But we did win two LG Blu-Ray players ($6 and $11), a batch of nine couch pillows my wife liked ($1), and the science-fictiony painting below.

The painting is described as "OIL ON BOARD? FRAMED, SUPER COOL 80'S LOOK AND COLORS!" If it's really an oil painting on wood then it's an original and we did extremely well, imvho. Even if that's incorrect - and you can see from the "?" in the description that the auction house isn't sure - it still looks great and will fit in beautifully next to all the SF books I'll soon be bringing out. But at $31 we would have paid more for a non-original than I would have liked. (Still far less than it would be at a store.)
