blinded by the sun. Where are my eyes?

The opening had a huge turnout. Lots of lovely conversations. Some even mentioned trying to get a museum to buy the manual for living, which of course I would love.

I met a high school student and his father, the father introduced me to the student and said that my work was being talked about a lot in their house, that the son really loved it and had a lot of questions. As I am writing this, I am now making the connection!! That must be the student who wrote me that lovely note a couple of months ago! Wow.

okay- back to you, so I told him exactly how I paint my paintings, and he seemed thrilled to know- and I told him he could come by my studio any time with questions- he said he would bring some work he was working on for a critique. Anyway- I am all for it. I love this part of all this, making the connections. I remember when I made these connections when I was starting out and they are like little life ropes. The connections I make today because of my art are extremely important to me, art puts me in contact with the most amazing people. People that challenge me and make me work harder. Life can seem so small and then bam! there is a rope and you grab on and get pulled in a new better direction. Glad I can be a rope sometimes, because so many have been thrown my way.

Anyway- are you still here? You are? Thanks for being a rope.

Let's see we need some music...
