Great to hear that you have treated yourself to something you will get a lot of enjoyment out of @utopia. 

Had a family holiday a long time ago to NT. Heaps of galleries there selling Abiriginal artwork with huge markups no doubt. Ended up buying one from a woman who was painting on the street. I listened to her tell me the story behind it and I told her that I wanted to buy it. 

I picked it up later that day. The next morning, there she was at the breakfast buffet of the hotel we were staying at with half a dozen friends/family spending the money I gave her on a big feed.
