Veronny's Violets Finds New Home in Michigan
M Y A R T — One of my pieces has found a home in a state far, far away from its humble beginnings, lol. Veronny's Violets, 22 x 16 inches on two joined pine boards, is an homage including my mother's eighth-grade portrait, my African violets and my love of all things striped, plaid and cacophonous. It was shipped last week and arrived safely yesterday in its new home in Michigan.
My pieces have now found homes in six states besides Connecticut, which is pretty cool if you ask me. The best part is it now belongs to long-time loyal reader of this blog, and friend, PhantomX. I know it will be safe and happy in his new home, which is really important to me. I don't sell my pieces to just anyone! That hasn't proven to be the best business model, rofl, but I've never taken the easy road anywhere, and in my dotage, am not about to change. I hope he enjoys it as much as I've enjoyed bringing it into this world.
• Yes, I changed the lyrics from Hello/Goodbye, the classic Beatles' song for the title, but it fit the post better, lol. For an awesome YouTube video of this song, click here. I would like ALL of the clothes they wore in this video for my spring collection...
It's always harder adopting older children, but I think the transition has went rather well.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the smile on Veronny's face was a little bit broader today when she settled into her new home.
Thanks again Casey, I know it's hard giving up one of your own ;)
Congratulations, phantomX !

CASEY,FIRST I FELL A SLEEP WITHOUT SAYING GOOD NIGHT LAST NIGHT. SO GOOD NIGHT CASEY GOOD NIGHT.
ReplyDeleteNOW GOOD MORNING. IT'S COLD HERE TODAY. IN FACT THE ICE IN MY WATER GLASS DIDN'T ALL MELT OVERNIGHT UNLESS SOMEONE IS PLAYING GAMES WITH MY BRAINS. I LOVED THAT PICTURE ABOVE AND I'M SURE YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN GIVING IT TO X. HE SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD FRIEND AND SO DESERVING TO HAVE IT REST IN HIS HOME. TREASURE IT X.
MICHIGAN IS A NICE PLACE TO LIVE SO I'M SURE THE PIECE OF ART IS VERY HAPPY.
