Big purchase

I got my very first Cape Dorset print though not really a print but an artist proof. I wanted to get it last year but didnt want to spend the $$$ plus with big purchases I always apply a one week rule though in this case, it was more like a year of thinking. This is what we got, number 22 And good for me for waiting, it was on sale and I got there right on time since after I seal the deal so to speak, 3 other people inquired about it and was told it’s sold..to us. So I am happy. I hope to get a “Kenojuak Ashevak” print soon, hers are expensive but she is a very good Inuit artist. She is 81 years old so dont know how long she is able to make beautiful drawings. But more on her here.

Meanwhile this year we are totally going for a Kenojuak Ashevak! That’s the person to buy from as soon as you can, she is so famous! Good for you getting that print on sale btw!
