Last night there was a big art sale in Vancouver. 6 Emily Carr paintings sold for nearly 2.5 million dollars. The big haul was 1.53 million spent on the Forest Light painting that had been expected to sell for between $400,000 and $600,000.

I’m not a savvy art appreciater, however I do enjoy Emily Carr’s works more than those done by people like Picasso. What about you? If money wasn’t a stumbling point, what is your art preference? Who would you hang on your wall?

If you plan to travel to Victoria in the near future, may I suggest visiting the Emily Carr House? I remember visiting as a child and that being the starting point of my appreciation of her as a person and an artist.
