A Sale

I have just had the most magnificent experience. Someone outside of my personal network purchased one of my works - Tiffany Blue Umbrella. There is something so... so... legitimizing... yes, that is the feeling - legitimizing about having someone who opinion isn't clouded by relationship valuing my work.

Please do not misunderstand! I deeply value my personal network. They (YOU) have purchased my works, commissioned me to create art for them (you), allowed me the privilege of capturing their (your) important life moments and emotions, and provided valuable feedback and encouragement to me. Heck, It was only a year or so ago that my friend, Jeremy Martel, told me my passion for capturing small things through my camera lens was marketable - that people would value the work I did and PAY me for it. If it wasn't for all of you, I wouldn't have thrown so much of myself into this and grown so much as an artist.

I am probably getting too much into my head here (I tend to over think things). I find myself pondering - is it human nature or just my nature that yearns for credibility? What an interesting question. I didn't consciously consider my desire for credibility or think about what it would take in my mind to legitimize the hours I spend behind the lens and sitting in front of my computer processing. And yet, there it was. Somehow I had this hidden yearning to be perceived by the outside world as I perceive myself. And here it is. My client from Spring Branch, TX has given me the gift of credibility... at least in my own eyes. Thank you. I hope your purchase gives you as much enjoyment and contentment as it has given me.
