After church today we drove to Grand Rapids to attend the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital's Annual Art Exhibit Reception. It was exciting to see my painting up on display. The hospital bought it so it will be there for years to come.
It was only in that first moment of seeing it up - in public - that it occured to me that I painted myself with no clothes. The hallways of the hosptial were full of people.
I am slowly easing myself into life as an artist. This meet and greet atmosphere was a good example of what I'm not used to. For so long I have kept myself safe in the world of practicing technique but never finishing a piece, naming it, signing it, selling it. I think I am ready for that world now. I certainly enjoyed today.
