no sale


So no sale.  Felt awkward, stupid.  Ah, what the hell.  Its not like I can stop painting.  And what if my work is no good?  Does that mean I must not do it?  Do I even have a choice? 
It would be nice to be successful but knowing me I would probably doubt that too. 
Anyway, bad day.  And my tooth HURTS.

trying to make a sale

So tomorrow I am showing a few of my paintings to a person  at a nearby hospital.  She may be interested in buying this one, maybe a few others.  I am anxious.  That is an understatement.  I am terrified and if I could not go I would.   It is an ordeal to show my work to anyone much less someone who will be judging it.

Thor

This is Thor Moen, a sweet young man who lived in our building with his girlfriend Lisa Cleal, a talented illustrator (www.lisamaycleal.com).   Before they moved to Montreal I took some photographs of them and used them to do some drawing/paintings.  If they had stayed longer I would have  loved to have them pose for me.
