I sold a small painting at the Carlton Art exhbition on Sunday but no one took the buyers details which was a but disappointing as she failed to take the tiny easel that came with the painting to display it.
I'd also forgotten to take a photo of it before letting it find a new home. I had only just finished the painting on the Friday before the show and it was still a bit wet which worried me a little.
I made some enqs but no one knew who bought it so I thought the trail was dead.
However on coming home this evening, very much later than usual because I was busy at work , I waved a dog walker across the road in front of me who gave me a perculiar smile and then suddenly appeared in front of me as I got out of my car on my drive.
"Are you the artist." She asked
Yes I replied and there followed a little coversation where she identified herself as the buyer of "Just a Cherry" but there was a problem she said nervously.
Her grandson had touched the surface and it had smudged.
No problem said I . I'll take it back and repair it, dry it out throughly and hand it back with the easel in a few days time.
Had I been off work on time I wouldn't have seen this lady out walking her dog.
Strange world. Strange Matrix ! Or whatever it is.
Said painting complete with soon to be removed smudge.
