Kirby,

As folks said above, art is a luxury for most folks. However, I see it as a necessity, as many of you probably do also. My business took a big hit when the planes hit the towers in New York. Before that, at times, I was making more from art sales than from my biology work for the government. Since then it has been up and down with some fat times and some lean times. I imagine right now, with the Holidays coming and living costs as high as they are, most people are nesting or saving what they can, myself included. Don't get down man, your paintings are terrific and worth every penny you are asking. Don't lower your prices, just hang onto them and the right buyer will come along. I have paintings from 1999 that haven't found a home yet, but they will, eventually. Believe in yourself and in your art, and keep pushing forward and breaking new artistic ground personally. Each of your works will find a home someday, but the real important part is your artistic journey and how you continue to grow as an artist.

I would buy "The Chief" right this second if I could. That is my absolute favorite. It is killer. Maybe I can get it if I move a tiki or two. Hang on man, $$ are around the next bend.....
