    I love that this wasn't some yardsale find for $10, even though those are fun to watch, but this is a family who all participated in the generous and thoughtful experience of mom treating dad to something special and meaningful. And for it to become the revered and respected piece that it has become is almost the icing on her love for him. From the humbleness of the son I would assume it had greater value to the father than money, because it came from her. And I do love that painting!

    What a truly beautiful back story to this paiting. $5 a week for two years is quite a bit of money in the 60's, especially while the painter was still living, which i assume cause they went to his studio to get it. For someone to plan a gift a few years ahead of time, has got to hold tremendous value, priceless is what id say. Thanks for sharing

      @@SuperBenette Exactly ; you should buy a painting because you like it and it gives you pleasure. If it ends up being worth a fortune or nothing that's irrelevant (a bonus if it is worth a bit I admit !)

      $4500 in the 1960's may have been 1/4 of a $20,000 house. In the 70's, the price of a car. But $125k today is still a good invetment. Invest in what you enjoy!
