Christy, the fact that it has a personal meaning for you is, to me, an encouraging sign. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings.

Michele, thank you so much! It has been incredible reading other people's reactions to the "story" aspect. Each person has his or her own associations which are both personal and universal. When I painted it I had no idea what to expect--I only knew what I wanted to say, and even that was only half-conscious. So this has been fascinating to read!

I enjoyed seeing your work in person, too, at the PBA seminar. There's something about seeing the brush marks that changes ones perception of a painting. The large portrait of the executive by the window with the clock in the background sticks in my mind particularly.
