I wish I could collect paintings, but I have to enjoy them through museums. I consider my two Kreindler studies to be extensions of my vintage memorabilia habit. When I worked for an airline and could take day trips, one of my favorites was to go to D.C., have a hot dog from a mall vendor, slowly walk through the impressionist area, then just sit on a bench in front of a Degas painting. Nothing better to clear my head - I think it was mostly the hot dog water.
I went back to D.C. two years ago and they had moved my painting
I also collect pre-wwii pool cues and Edward Curtis photographs/gravures.
