The latest news on my valuable painting

So I negotiated with Christie's and Sotheby's and got the best offer from Sotheby's. They ;picked it up and took it to NYC. They framed it snd the painting is now touring India. My agent is going to show it to some special clients in New Delhi. Then it's off to London for an auction of South Asian art on October 26!

If you go to the auction house's calendar and scroll down to the auction on Oct. 26, you'll see my painting!

I looked at it and just wondered. I'm sure it will sell for a lot.

It's oil on masonite. It's the dark painting of a cathedral

How exciting that you have a treasure! I love art. I’ve spent most of my extra money over the last many years on art.

Or perhaps just a link to a prior post of yours? I don't know if it's a painting you painted or a painting you found -- or even which painting it is in the auction link you provided. Thanks.
