I resisted the urge…

… it was tough, but I managed to get through the wonderful Dayton Visual Arts Center Art Auction last night without buying anything…

I had to fight it … fight … urge … to … buy … more … art …

… more … art …

… need … more … art … walls … empty … not …

… must … take … art … we … already … have … down … to … make … room … for … new … art…

… must … resist … urge … to … buy … buy … buy …

Whew! That was tough. I had my eye on one of Richard Malogorski’s great wide-view, open-spaces photographs, but let somebody else have it who seemed to want it a lot more. Sigh.

I looked at Anita Tresslar’s lovely still life, but decided I liked the one in our house enough that I didn’t need to get another one quite yet.

I saw a Barrish across the room that looked pretty sweet, and was barely able to avoid the Burroughs…

But somehow, my will prevailed.

Today, however, I have non-buyer’s remorse. I hate that.

Next year, I may not be able to resist…
