Missing in the Maze of Monochrome.

[takemeaway]

I entered a fine art competition a few weeks ago. I also didn't win jack in said competition. I got an email from the gallery, this fancy dancy fine art gallery in New York, saying they are interested in my work. They are sending me an email later this week concerning a portfolio review and the required information. What. The. Hell. Gallery + My Work = Interested?!? I also realize that this may be a mass emailing to such losers as myself from the competition, but maybe they actually saw something they liked. I'm still kind of bursting with joy over this. So is everyone I've told. Even if they don't accept me, I feel like I at least have "street cred" and I feel more like an artiste now. -huge, insanely huge grin-

ps - I wish I could share this good news with my mother. I miss her terribly today. I rarely allow myself the luxury of such, or even admitting this to myself. Sigh.
