She is of course free to post where she wants. but I don't think this virtual real estate would be one of the best choices.

If this is the same owl artist I think it is, I believe he suffered from severe schizophrenia. Which of course is not an explanation to his crimes, but does explain why he was obsessed with painting owls.

I think what Lois really wants to know, after all of this bleating around the blush, is "Do you think she should ask the guys to sign the paintings?"

a got a giggle, but liked the picking the nose one better.
Lois I am not at liberty to say, a climber, though.
All the other exmarines that I know are remarkable people, each in their own way.
And again I vote that that unfortunate woman not post (and maybe not even surf) here.

LEB,
How has this affected your appreciation for Richard Hinger's art? Do you still enjoy the paintings you have as much as you did before you found out he was a murderer? Do you still display them? Do you think you can ever bring yourself to acquire more of this works?

She made another joke-The Deli Llama-hmm, who would that be? Does the Deli Llama oversee the Deli Docs? Perhaps advise them?

Deli llama? Here in NYC, we have deli cats, who are supposed to keep the mice away. What does the deli llama do? I'd think they'd be rather cumbersome to have floating about in those cramped little stores.....

Well LEB, I think you are quite aware of the horrendous nature of the crime. If you think you show respect for the victims family by not displaying his art then you should not.
I would display his art and use it to remind me of both the brilliance and darkness of man.

You'll never be 100% sure either way in your mind, so quit with the drama and get rid of the damn things for christ sakes.
A whole year of agonizing over this.?

Oh I looked .....
His art looks like the stuff you see hanging in cheap motels ready to be stolen. His abstract art looks confusing.
But! WTF do I know about art?

Well, I don't think I'm capable of doing what he did either. But, I can't say that, if I were to experience his life, I would not have done what he did.

Picasso was an abusive womanizer. He destroyed lives by using and discarding people. All those he abused in this manner had their own families, who were negatively impacted by the painter's actions.
I think they're right, LEB: this is just drama. YOU are the one who has to look at the paintings. You either like them or you don't. They are just paintings. They've already been paid for. So the artist is not being 'unjustly' enriched just through your display.
Maybe you should keep them in storage until you sort out your feelings. We can't do that for you.

What is it you want? Opinions?
Keep them, put them up to look at.
But then you ask, what if he's guilty?
The other side of this double edged troll is:
Get rid of them, they were painted by a murderer.
From you again its, what if he's innocent?
what if what if what if what if
A day.....maybe a dilemma.
A week.....maybe an epic.
A year......a drama.
Is it your morals your worried about or public opinion?
You will never find all the answers (agonizing) to your endless supply of questions to the validity of the trial.
I'll give you my honest opinion, and I mean this is the nicest way possible.
Sh#t or get off the pot.
