#163 James Harper Tribute

So, when I first moved to Dallas
I went to an estate sale with my girlfriend.
The deceased was one James Harper, and he was a painter.
For $20, we bought a painting that was a copy of a Frederic Remington,
which is in the collection of the Amon Carter museum in Fort Worth.

to the frame – hung in our living room for two years. 
In the background, there are some mountains
that kind of look like weird white pyramids, and
for a while I wanted to add UFOs coming out of them.

I wish I had purchased.
