Dallas has been very good to me. Processing this exhibition and all it delivered will take some time. The final days of it were like icing on a very good cake...meeting people in the gallery, having a photo shoot, amazing conversations with friends, and new contacts. My impressions of
Dallas have certainly heightened--from the Arts District now in full bloom, to the Trinity River project underway, from the heights of Oak Cliff to the depths of Turtle Creek...the synergy in Dallas is palpable.
Rick and Carol Brettell kindly fixed lunch for Mrs. McDermott, Mary Cook, Caren Prothro and me, with a MAC tour on May 14th. It was gracious hospitality at its best.Soon afterwards I packed up art at Valley House and the MAC...it took five whole days.
And then I got to make some delightful deliveries of art to new owners...here's a string of pieces I am proud to say have gone onto a better place! Some in Dallas, some elsewhere:
plus this one, a gift to the Brettells. All art is a gift in some respect, either to its maker, its owners, its viewers. There is a rate of exchange involved that has nothing to do with money. Nonetheless, I am thankful for these sales!

I sat beside your husband in an airplane going to O'Hare- was it O'Hare?- many flights since then. And I ignore seatmates, but he was flipping through images of your work on his new IPad, and I couldn't take it anymore- I had to find out what he was looking at. Had to find out about those pomegranates, and the Cezanne on tile.....
