An unexpected feeling

At a recent exhibition, I sold all 4 of my submitted paintings...a first for me. I should have felt over the moon.

But, instead I was left with a feeling of loss. A loss that I just could not explain.

I remember, at the opening night, standing there - looking at my red dotted paintings and wonder if the person who bought them knows that I finished them but two weeks ago. Will they know that they still live in my heart. Will they know the ups and downs - especially the downs. Will they see which one won in the end?

I rolled this feeling over and over and as I said goodbye this week I realised that someone else will now love them - for different reasons - I now know that. And, that is OK too.
