That human experience is often what makes artwork (and relationships therein) meaningfulIt is, and thanks for your interest!The Kolorbas wasn't even that expensive - owning artwork is proportional to what a person is willing to justify its cost. I'm an artist but can't afford to be a "collector" of art. I see all kinds of beautiful art I can't possibly afford, so when I see something like this within my range of acceptance financially - I go for it! I believe in supporting gifted artists and have done so when I can. I also have artwork by artist friends which always takes priority. (I have only so many walls!) I'd seen stock Jolana Kolorbas's and liked them, but when saw this special one - I couldn't resist. In purchasing it (eBay) I developed a dialogue with the seller over the two months it took to arrive and he sent a very nice Christmas/holiday email thanking me for purchasing the bass. It made the whole transaction more human and in turn made the bass even more special. People complain about eBay all the time but if done right it's a way to connect with distant parts of the world in a positive way.
Then when you see the see the piece displayed, all those other cool experiences come with it. Very cool story!
but I'll really miss her when she's gone, we've been through a lot together.
