Out with the Old, Part 2

Something else I’ve learned:
There are a million ways to look at the Golden Gate Bridge. Although I see it almost daily it still takes my breath away. Each time I drive over it, I’m as excited as the first. So when it came time to choose work for my “gallery wall” I didn’t realize other people felt the same way. I found beautiful work at reasonable prices, but returned it unsold to one artist after another. Then I found a painter who asked me what I thought about subject matter. Without conviction I said: small. “unframed, affordable pictures of the bridge”. Since then the demand has exceeded the supply. Who knew!
