something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

I drop in to Puffle Café several times a week and always order two large black americanos for me and the missus. The proprietor is a chipper outgoing guy who loves to gab, which makes it easier for me. He asked me if I had plans for the weekend and I told him I was hoping to paint.

"Canvas or house?"

"Canvas."

And his eyes got big. "You paint?! I never knew!" And before I could even reply, he said, "I've been wanting to get some art up in here. Bring your paintings and I'll put them up. We can try and sell them." And he was convinced that displaying my art, sight unseen, was a good idea. [I think he just really believes in promoting local talent, especially if they are his regulars.]

And so today I got some frames for the pieces that need them, and I am gonna have my paintings displayed. Just like that. Wild or what?

Make sure you take good photos of any works. I have nagging regrets that I don't have good records of stuff I sold early on.

No worries, first thing I do when I finish a painting is take a pic of it.
