Last summer I ran the 1st annual First Baptist Summer Art Gallery at my church. This was to try and draw out the artists of many different types and styles to show their talents and it was very successful. I, of course, showed my paintings as well. Bob and Sue Blumenstock are long time family friends and church members and expressed interest in buying one of my paintings but could not decide which one. No rush! The decision making went on until my church's recent mission conference, where several of the missionaries we support come and we have 4 days of meetings and a banquet to get re-aquainted with them and hear what they've been doing. The theme was Fisher's of Men, so there were nautical decorations around the church, including a small sailboat on stage with various types of fishing gear and my nautical paintings (lighthouses and fishing boat) on the window sills - 16 in all. As soon as Bob and Sue saw the Portland Head painting, they knew that was the one.
