Yes Janet,
I saw the movie. It was a very good one. Funny as well as inspiring. The last scene of the athletes carrying their bobsled across the finish line was touching. I would have liked to see it in reality at the Olympics, as it was a true story.
Allan, I see I am going through a period in my life where I am trying to hold on to a past period of very good gallery sales. After a divorce, my sales dipped drastically. So learning how others have gone beyond expectations has become like a candle for me in the distance at which I can aim.
The days of traveling to my galleries, staying in hotels (modest one's but hotels none the less,) good restaurants with my wife while on these gallery trips, being able to afford nice antiques with the confidence that as artwork sells, they'll pay for themselves as all of my antiques go into my paintings, and lastly the feeling that I was connecting to people's emotions through my artwork felt so good. We all go through periods in our lives. maybe this will be short lived. But I would love to be back there, not having to teach English part time to make ends meet. And something in me enjoys the challenge of rebuilding a career that was once doing well. It keeps me going emotionally to be in the studio. It is a world of sensitivity and creativity. What can be healthier?
Good luck to you both.
Anthony
