barter is good

yesterday I traded a lithograqph and a linoleum block print for a space heater (for the studio) – and last night gave it a test run. Its a much better heater than I had pictured acquiring, and though it doesn’t heat the studio up to toasty warm it definitely takes the chill off. No more numb fingers! Its even got a remote control, at first I thought “why would I need a remote control for a space heater?” – but then as I was painting I relaized how great it is and couldn’t fathom a heater without a remote control (it even oscillates on command).
