Digital BW, The Print

I doubt the artist (a woman) would have found the location to her liking.  The painting is of several women standing up.  Also, her art sells for over $1,000 for this size (about 20x30) and her "donation" of the art got featured with a photo of her donating in the local paper.  

True Story.

  Steadman,

  No that's a perfect spot! Where else is more likely to be intently 
  stared at by thousands of people! The road to fame and fortune leads 
  through some strange places.

  I did hear back that I print I sold wound up in the buyer's bathroom. 
  Not a great ego booster but we all know that huge portion of our work 
  gets purchased for interior decorating purposes.

  Are we degenerating to bathroom humor here? ;-)
