thanks Wyatt...
when this came from the kiln I was ecstatic with joy
knowing yet, that when I'm thrilled with something I'm usually in trouble sales wise...
so I asked my son Wyatt what he thought of the piece, saying I was concerned it might be too much...
he looked a bit raised his head and informed me that it was" the best of the lot"!
I took it to Demarest, knowing that it was coming home
but instead it now lives in a beautiful apartment overlooking the river in NYC
bought by a wonderful Irish woman I've known for years...
the only piece of the then new crackle that sold
there is no lesson here as I've stopped believing that events justify thoughts or reason
but I'm happy she has it and yes folks...people buy these guys and are happy to do so...

No, I haven't forgotten them...
don't worry... as if anyone would,
but I haven't forgotten these pieces
I'm still excited about them and will be continuing with more...
the summer is just very full here:
maintaining and repairing the property and grounds
attending to the gallery customers
cutting firewood and arguing with chain saws
fixing the mower often
rebuilding the kiln or trying to
working on and repairing my truck to get it on the road again
and most importantly, taking care of and enjoying time with my son
to name but a few...
it's a full life and sometimes the studio
gets the short end of the stick
but I'm nearly done with the Survival Island pots
and then.....
let the fun begin!!!
