On protons and artwork

Well there is an artist that I have had the opportunity to enjoy the artwork of Tim Murley for the last year. His work is TNMS but I love it... And oddly Jim who likes ABSRACT loves it too - so when I found out that he was going to be at an "affordable artshow" Jim and I decided to go - affordable is 100% debatable but we went anyway. I had decided I would spend up to $150 ---- well we went over budget by 50% BUT we got a steal - another artist commented that we got a $3000 piece and the artist thinks that he mismarked it ;-0 but I am happy - we have a gorgeous piece by the artist of "Rodeo Jones" although it isn't a rodeo jones piece (they start at $8000) it is a similar style and I am SO excited. It is 13" x 56" and I can't wait to hang it in the kitchen.
The show was an experience it was PACKED - like literally we could not walk a step without being stepped on or stepping on someone else. There were 20 artists there and all were amazing and Tim's was highly popular - He was well on his way to selling out Friday night (this was a 3 day show)
Here are a few pictures - let me know what you think?
