me, art collector

I was recently asked by someone, “So, who collects your work?”

My most honest response was simply, “I do.”

I mention this because I have been suddenly confronted with the notion that someday (maybe in the not too distant future), the building that my studio of 13 years is in may be sold, and I may have to move out… leaving me with the enormous task of moving a mountain of paintings that I have made and not sold.  So, I have begun to get rid of all of the unnecessary accumulated material that has lingered too long in my sacred studio.  It feels good.  But, the paintings, they remain… it doesn’t feel bad, but incomplete, like your children that have grown up, but not yet left the home.
