Why wait?

Recently, while hiking in the quiet of New Hampshire, I got pinged from Square, informing me that my photograph, “Excess” had been purchased from my website.
I replied with a heartfelt thank you to the woman who bought it.
She told me the story of how she saw my exhibit at Boston’s Galatea Fine Art Gallery over two years ago and that the artwork had resonated with her ever since. Currently going through a transitional part of her life, she decided to purchase it.
It does not escape me that they are are many layers of teaching moments in this story.

I have a couple of pieces in Galatea’s New England Collective Exhibition and the opening is this Friday 5-8.
Why wait 2 years?
