Shades of Grey by peggysirk

Shades of Grey

It's another wonderful rainy Monday. I just stuck my camera out the door and snapped. This is actually inspired by a discussion I saw on 365 this morning concerning a photograph of a swatch of water or sky (?) in variations of blue. The photo, http://artsalesindex.artinfo.com/asi/lots/4741646 , is being offered by Christie's (NYC) for $16,250 USD/12,584 EUR. It is the work of American photographer, Richard Misrach. If you are interested in purchasing Mr. Misrach's photo, please consider the fact that I am accepting bids for my 'Shades of Grey' composition. As I do not have the following of a Richard Misrach, the bidding is being opened at a mere $1,500US/1,158EUR. I will include framing of your choice. Do I hear a bid? :)
I had to laugh because I instantly thought of the discussion thread when I saw the thumbnail. The timing couldn't be more perfect to get a huge bid on this given the current 50 Shades of Grey craze.

@lisjam1 I'm expecting big bucks for this amazing work, Lisa. Just in time to start my Christmas shopping. :)

You are definitely very current as grey is THE shade at the moment...some people pay such stupid money for what I would consider daubs!
Hilarious Peggy & well snapped, it does look a bit of a pea souper!

Ok, I will start the bidding, with the offer of a 10% off coupon for Kohl's, and 1 junior police sticker badge.

@sarasdadandmom Good for you, Terry! I knew I could count on you to get things going!! I'm already considering how I can make that junior police sticker badge work for me...in the event you happen to be the winning bid. :)

@sarasdadandmom Very generous that Terry and I can think of plenty of uses for a junior police sticker. I'm afraid I can only offer a coupon for a £10 eye test from Boots and one of my bespoke bicycle paper clips - actually I'm dithering on the paperclip.

You made me laugh so much !!! been waiting for the shades of Grey title :-) Yeah , go girl ! Grey Monday here too !

@judithg I recall seeing a photo of that bicycle clip...very tempting bid only if you decide to keep the paper clip as part of the deal. :)

I bid one smiley face sticker, a Trader Joe's flyer with wonderful recipes, and some Atlantic beach sand from Cape May NJ that I just found in the bottom of my suitcase.
