It's Interesting...

Recognition feels good. Really good. Here is my piece at the entryway to the mayor's art show. 

And, above photos of Ginger and Karm and Connie and Dale. 

The reception was very fun. 

My sister gave me a book titled "How Georgia Became O'Keefe". In it I found the following quote: "Flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am free"

There is something quite freeing in this as I know the warmpth wears off and what is left is the art and why are we doing it? All I know is that I can't wait to get into the studio this week...

Oh, and one other thing... I overheard a man talking about my painting. He wanted to know why Lincoln was dressed like Elvis! He didn't seem too happy about it!
