Did You Know Sir Anthony Hopkins Is A Painter?

Jul 01, 2007 10:29

Anthony Hopkins was in an Aspen art gallery last night for the opening night of an exhibit of his paintings. We thought it would be interesting to see, but honestly I wasn't expecting much.

My cousin does acrylics too. Very abstract but cool like Sir Anthony's. I really a couple of those! Bet they were fetching pretty penny, huh? Trish

Oops! Missed the word "loved" there. Really "loved" a couple of those.

Trish, yes the acrylics were expensive ($8,000 and up!!), we bought one of the much lesser priced ink-on-paper paintings. We went back to the gallery yesterday just before the sold paintings were being shipped to their new owners, I'd say Sir Anthony sold probably two dozen paintings, mostly smaller works but plenty pricey. Part of the proceeds go to an Alzheimer's charity, and part goes to Sir Anthony so he can buy more paint.
