In a letter of January 28, 1754, Walpole says that "this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word."

This weekend I sold these two paintings to a woman... that sat down to breakfast at Duplex yesterday. She said she sat down and looked up. These two paintings were directly in front of her. She had recently traveled to Morocco and just planned another trip to Bahia. She said she felt compelled to buy them.
I sold another painting over the weekend at Duplex... a painting of the Duplex sign... but I have no information on that buyer.
Lately it seems that just when I need a love... it comes to me in creative and serendipitous ways!
