  1. Another cruise, another great time, and another great Park West at Sea experience. We just finished a 5 day cruise and purchase some more wonderful artwork that we are looking forward to enjoying for years to come. Our auctioneer (Dewald Mulder) was very frank, open, and honest with us. My number one rule is I only collect what I like, no matter what I am collecting. Mr. Mulder reinforced that rule. This time we knew what we were looking for (Bellet on canvas and Peter Max). We got that and a few other pieces (Krasnyansky companion piece to one we already own) that we really liked. The key to buying is to LISTEN, RESEARCH, and buy what you can afford and like. I have seen many of our pieces (lithographs and serigraphs-we have moved beyond these) on display at other locations. I have visited the Peter Max exhibit at the Clinton Library and his gallery in Las Vegas. We knew what we wanted and got it, all at a great price. We love the free stuff as well, just to decorate rooms with. Keep up the great work, stay honest, we will be back.
