Well, I did it! I went in search of one of the artists I discovered at the Brooklyn Museum of Art's Open House: Working in Brooklyn show and have added her to my collection! Here's a detail:
Jane Fine, Untitled (detail), 2001
Acrylic and ink on paper
I fell in love with this work because of the color (I'm going through a pink phase), texture (impossible to see in this photo), and crazy details found throughout. Dr. Seuss on speed! I know that I will find some crazy new detail in this work every time I take a gander at it.
I found Jane's work at Pierogi and picked this one out of their Flat Files for $1,300. Jane's larger paintings are priced between $4,000 and $7,000.
This is fun! Join me in my addiction and hunt, won't you?
Hey Paige, btw that's a gorgeous piece.

Very nice - not jealous, just envious.

Hi Jane, just a sketch, but I think you'd like the detail in this -
The Formative Days
It's a thematic submission for 'The Beginning'
Cheers,

Yikes... I liked Jane's work so much, that I typed her name instead of yours. Sheesh! :P
Apologies.

I'm impressed you spelled Seuss correctly :)
I enjoy your site, found it when you were a featured Typepad site.

You said "I fell in love with this work because of the color (I'm going through a pink phase)"
You are what we artists call a "couch-matcher". Don't ever tell a painter you bought his or her work for such stupid reasons.

Sometimes I am surprised that people out there accually buy art. I make it my self, and sell it, sometimes people buy it. Everytime a painting sells I am just so surprised. I am glad that paintings can touch people in a way that makes them want to own it. The more they buy, the more I am able to produce. Thanks for your support.
