In the past I gave away my paintings and neglected to keep track of who I gave them to. My years working at the Met Museum gave me an appreciation for the history of each painting. This one I gave to my church's Christian School as an auction item to raise money for the school. At the auction, two of my friends, who did not know each other, began a brief bidding war. The painting went for about 75 dollars. After the auction, the winner moved and the painting was lost in the boxes and I forgot which painting it was. It was recently unboxed and the owner gave it to me for one of my exhibitions.
Quote: There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun. - Pablo Picasso
