Yesterday I sold one of my favorite paintings. "Can it Be?" was one of the first pieces that I knew had power. A colleague bought it, so I'll be able to visit it in her office, but I was still sad to see it go. As much as I want my darlings to go out into the world and speak to people, I also want to protect them and keep them safe in the studio with their siblings. But we need peace on earth as much as or more than ever, and I hope my dove carries that message with his olive branch through the campus and the world.
I haven't had the heart to take the image off of my home page - I'll do that when I am equally struck by the next painting.
Thanks to all who supported my work at shows the last two weekends.
