Day 17

Today was not busy at all.

A little after 12, I went back to the art gallery to attend a show about Breast Cancer Awareness. I made two watercolor paintings and one of them made the postcard that we use to promote the show. And as that's never happened to me before, I thought my pieces was one of the postcard pictures. And it turns out, one of my paintings was on the postcard. To make things worse. it turned out that my piece was the only one on the postcard. I saw those things before that had five or six different pictures on it. And to make matters even more worse, is that the abstract painting I had on the postcard was sideways.

It even had my name and everything. "Painting done by Cary Pohlhammer".

Something like this happened last Spring. I had two photographs for a sculpture and photography show. One was a sunny picture and the other was a gray, cloudy one. People voted on their favorite pieces each. And my picture had the most votes. Not the rainy, cloudy picture unfortunately. But the sunny picture won. I didn't even like that picture to begin with.

Besides, winning is a very good thing and an important part of this world. But for a picture I didn't like? It didn't feel fair. And I couldn't fix it to make the piece I liked be the winner.

I'm not all for attention, but if I had to win based of off two of my pictures, I want the one I like to win. And if a picture of mine is on the postcard, I want it to be at least right-side up.
