We only do one painting. It's a way of featuring one artist in our community. It's a celebration of his work.

Ron always puts something quirky in his paintings that causes you to think.

We get a lot of miles out of it. It's no small task what they have to do in the painting.

No one asked an artist who was great in his 20s and 30s why he was still painting in his 40s and 50s,

I think of it like a priceless painting, and the artist is deceased. It took years to amass the acres, years to develop the property. You can't get it any other way.

It is an iconic painting by the artist. It fully deserved to make this record for the artist, which is more than three times the previous amount ever achieved by a Turner at auction.
