a client remarked "you must know this road like the back of your
hand"

me to make a mistake.

All art is a gift. It is first of all
a gift that the maker can do it. It is then a gift to someone else,
whether they pay for it or not.
The wonder of it is that we cannot get the production of these gifts
stopped. Art is life seeking itself. It is our intractable expressions
of love for the beauties, ideas and epiphanies we regularly find. I
framed the painting.
It's now hanging in our den. (With Gratitude to www.robertgenn.com)
"I have walked this earth for 30 years, and, out of gratitude,

you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world
for the moment. I want to give that world
to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no
time to look at a flower.
