Here is the email I received this morning:
kathleen-- I and another artist friend received the following email this morning. The only difference was the subject line--each was the name of a piece we had made...gotten off of our website.
I was suspicious and googled the name and came upon your blog. Thank you for what you are doing to help us all!

Hello Abbot,
Thank you very much for your interest in my work.
Yes, those paintings are available, sort of ... "Pondering Nymphaea" and "Translucent Orchid" were recently accepted into a major juried exhibition which opens to the public January 19th and runs until March 3rd, 2012. Both original works are priced $1,750 ea, are beautifully framed and have glare-free museum-quality glass. Because the organization will collect 25% + tax of all sales, the prices will be raised.
If you are interested in purchasing either painting at the lower price, please let me know ASAP and I'll inform the exhibitors of the prior sale, so the piece can be marked NFS.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays to you!
Nanybel
