My 2012 Vieques Open Studio. The work looked wonderful. The food was delicious. The guests were admiring. And there were no sales! Not one. Zip. Zero. Nada. Nope. At least not yet. I've struggled all day not to be negative about this and it's been REALLY hard not to question everything about my art-making, art-marketing and art patronage. I've indulged in more than a little grousing. I mean, this is not how it's supposed to be!

Still, I love this picture of me and my triptych. The panels (each 30" x 30") were designed so they can each interface with the others, so they can mimic clouds by changing formation. Halfway through the opening reception, I did the switcharoo. What a delight!  I've heard tell that pleasing oneself is the best thing an artist can do. By this measure, the event was a great success. Congratulations to me!
