Now feeling well. Completing the painting seems to have given me relief. I need to wait for the paint to dry completely, however, before vernissage. And then, after the varnish dries, deliver the painting to Artery Art Space.

A very dear friend already wants to buy the painting from me, and I hope that he/she can afford it. I want my paintings to be owned only by persons I know.

That way, many years from now, when one of my paintings is seen hanging on the wall of someone's house, the viewer will automatically deduce, "Oh--he/she personally knew the artist when he was alive."
