Bittersweet

So, I sold a painting yesterday. It was quite a surprise as it happened on my Etsy store page. I was actually thinking of shutting that down due to lack of action and then this happened. So, here is the story...

I was painting and thinking and started dwelling on VVG and how much I loved him as an artist. So...I started thinking of how hard it is for me to paint and be creative and how I call upon the muse and struggle so much. Then a poem popped into my head and I swung my trusty chair around to start typing the words.

They words flowed out much like my lyrics and music used to in a past life and 15 minutes later I was done. I sat back, read the poem and then literally 30 seconds later I hear a ding from my phone and it's an email from Etsy telling me that my favorite painting had been purchased. This is one of the paintings that I sit back and wonder...how did I do that. I love the color and the detail and the vanishing point with it's muted tones that lend to the perspective. I know the man that bought this and even though my heart hurts a bit at saying goodbye to one of my kids, I know it's going to a good home and will be loved.

​Thank you Vincent.
