well.. glad you liked them... I sure did.. a half hour or so.. after he was explaining just where he lived.... I ran back and asked if it was the house with the pile.. like about 5 dozen or so gnomes that live in a concrete front yard.. with plastic flowers.. he said no.. he had started his gnomes before moving in near by... other wise he would have thought these gnomes in the yard... had visited him in the night ..and put the idea into his head...
Tee... yes I imagine these origional ones are pricey .. don't know about the ones he'll cast from them.. guess that depends on how they are cast..and who does them. not to mention the painting.. Right Sharon.. like what would the chairs cost.. if you were paid by the hour at say $30/hr..
yes , Sharon.. you got most of them...ID'd right.. Vincent.. Pablo... and Andy.. you can see the scar on his stomach from when the actress Valerie Sloanas shot him three times.. then Georgia O'keeffe.. with her white flowers... he's got her holding lilies.. and she likely did paint some.. but the usual white flowers you see her doing are either the moon flowers.. or a white datura.. so you might have been led astray with that one... the last one.. I can't recall just who that one was.. I didn't recognise the name.. something bouswarzee.. after an hour or so on google.. I see just who it was...

Louise Joséphine Bourgeois (French pronunciation: [lwiz buʁʒwa]; 25 December 1911 – 31 May 2010),[1] was a renowned French-American artist and sculptor, best known for her contributions to both modern and contemporary art, and for her spider structures, titled Maman, which resulted in her being nicknamed the Spiderwoman.[2] She is recognized today as the founder of confessional art.[3]
In the late 1940s, after moving to New York City with her American husband, Robert Goldwater, she turned to sculpture. Though her works are abstract, they are suggestive of the human figure and express themes of betrayal, anxiety, and loneliness. Her work was wholly autobiographical, inspired by her childhood trauma of discovering that her English governess was also her father’s mistress.
