Hi Alene,

Somehow, I missed this post! I love the video: it's amazing how many paintings this structure holds. Incredible. Your paintings in this post are gorgeous.

I'm sorry the gallery was a no-sale experience. I wonder if galleries are like book publishers -- unless you're Stephen King, there is no marketing occuring. Hopefully you can find a gallery that boosts its artists more.

The pictures are awesome; I'm glad you got out and hiked!

Is America great again? I think not.

Thanks, Beth. I would think gallery owners would want to make sales, since they get 50% of the listed price. It depends on the gallery. They are hard to get into, and it seems like so many artists struggle with gallery sales. If I have some new pieces in the fall, I can put those in the gallery to see if other pieces might sell there this winter. But I’ll decide later.

No, we are not great yet, or again, or ever, as long as this bloated orange medical mystery is still on the planet.

It's a mystery why that gallery didn't put any effort into trying to sell your work.

Every day here in the U.S. gets worse and worse. To be in this administration, one has to be a pedophile, rapist, thief, corrupt, liar, grifter, incompetent, stupid. That's all it takes.

I think I understand why the gallery owner hasn’t put any effort into the gallery. I don’t think she had any idea what she was getting herself into.

Yes this country is rapidly deteriorating as badly as the Orange Pendejo’s health. Let’s hope he goes first…
