Mary Beth,

Thanks for reaching out and I am excited about whatever happens.

We have not heard from John yet so I am not at all sure if we won. We were jumping around here fighting with the verification things trying to submit!! Anyway, I’ll let you know when we hear, but if you won, congratulations! I am sure the painting will go to a good home!

Best regards,

Jack

Jack, I think you already won because my $3300 didn't sneak in under the 10:00 AM mark, and I just assumed the bidding was over. Well done, sir!

Best,
Mary Beth

Wow! Thank you both Jack and Mary Beth so much! And thank you to everyone who bid on this painting! I am really touched and honored that so many of you bid (and so competitively too! :D ) I really appreciate your support!

The Official Winner is Jack with his bid from 9:59 (or because this is on West Coast Time 6:59:52) - It was so fun to have such an exciting finish! Thank you all so much again for all of your support!

Sincerely,
John Folley

    Hello there, I'm John H. Folley, an oil painter in the Boston School tradition. Thanks for visiting the Beauty Advocacy Blog, where it's my job to help you become a more discerning art appreciator.

    I believe that beauty is real and that art has standards, and I'm here to push back against the pretensions of the modern Art world.

    Here you'll find updates on my studio projects, commissioned paintings, illustration, and some of my art philosophy. You'll also hear occasionally from my wife and studio manager, artist Deirdre M. Folley. Peace!
