One year my brother gave me this enormous framed Georgia O'Keefe print. It was this huge purple flower thing, very contemporary looking. This was at a time when we were living in a small condo, without a single spot on a wall anywhere to put such a monstrosity. Not to mention that our condo was decorated in a very traditional country-French/antique style (as is our home today), so that it would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

I paid him back -- I sent him homemade peach jam. Might have been moldy. ;)
