I think it the ultimate "pat on the back" when you sell a painting at a show to no one you know or are related to! :-)I really liked this painting...it was kind of hard to see it go. But having said that, I did do a watercolor of the same subject matter before I did this gouache one. So I do have another one in a slightly different medium and palette.
I want to thank Karen Kappell for giving me the courage to play around with watercolor and gouache which I have found very satisfactory.
As an addendum to the sock monkey story I posted yesterday. I had an email from someone who follows my blog (she's a friend of a friend but I've never met her) who wrote to tell me that her father in law bought that sock company in Rockford, IL from the original owners!!! I LOVE that stuff! Serendipity. One thing leads to another. So much fun. Thanks for writing Mary Gayle!!!
