His Works
By Ami (Gypsie) Offenbacher-Ferris
The crowds race past the aging artist, no one paying heed to the beautiful paintings being created within the open air shack on the street corner.
A small child, less than six years entered, exclaiming how beautiful the cypress tree painting was. Kano Eitoku gifted it to her. Years later, the painting appraised at over $200,000 American dollars.

It’s unfortunate that money sullies the beauty of art in this way. I’m sure she loves it no more than before even with the appraisal.

What an uplifting tale. Reminds me of the “abandoned art project” where artists abandon little works of art for people to find.

. Wonderful story in a capsule. If she does sell it, I hope it goes to a museum where many can enjoy it

Lovely story. If she did decide to sell it, I hope it wouldn’t just go behind closed doors, as happens to some “priceless” art.
