$\"yellow\"$ <\/p>\n

$\"yellowhair\"$ <\/p>\n

You swooned at my gorgeous, thrift-store-purchased painting by the great Argentinian\u00a0Alejandro Lucas Debonis<\/a>. You marveled at my ultra-thrifty Peruvian wonderland.<\/a> You\u00a0worried about \u00a0 What Did 50\u2019s Kids Think of This Toy?<\/a> You were minimal help figuring out what this thing is.<\/a><\/p>\n

And now comes\u00a0this!<\/em> The above original painting by contemporary Navajo master artist Robert Yellowhair was found amongst a bunch of stuff donated to one of the thrift stores run by Community Resource Center,<\/a> in Encinitas, CA, where my wife Catherine works. It\u2019s big (three feet by two feet, not counting the\u00a0frame). It\u2019s bold. It\u2019s sooooo\u00a0 beautiful.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking at it right now. The colors and details are \u2026 well, why Yellowhair is so famous, for one. What makes it so arresting is that the Kachina is no doll. He\u2019s a real person, with arm and stomach muscles. So it\u2019s \u2026 magical, that way.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little bio-bit about Robert Yellowhair: \u201cBorn in 1937 in Na-ah-Tee canyon, north of Holbrook, Arizona, Robert Yellowhair is considered one of the Navajo nation\u2019s finest painters. His award-winning work is featured in many fine southwestern galleries, and one of his pieces can found in the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

So. Buy this painting right now. We need to sell it for anything near what it\u2019s worth. Community Resource Center helps victims of domestic violence\u2014and they need money, because California is so broke that instead of guns the cops here are\u00a0now carrying tin cups. So their funding\u2019s gone hasta la vista, baby.<\/p>\n

Seriously: If you can help us sell this painting, do! If you can even help us figure out what it\u2019s worth,<\/em> do. \u00a0(Given what I\u2019ve learned about it via web research,\u00a0I think a won\u2019t-have-any-trouble-selling-it price is $800.00; a gallery would probably ask $1,500 for it, for sure. If I\u2019m correctly understanding what I\u2019ve read.) If you know anyone into this sort of work, please point \u2019em our way.<\/p>\n

But anyway, can you believe<\/em> the stuff people think is junk?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
