Not So Hot Artist

I attended a museum opening exhibition recently. My work is in the permenent collection , some of my sculpture is in the sculpture garden. I often go out to look at the work, it's just nice to be able to see it. A lady came out and stood looking in the direction of my work. She stood for quite sometime looking. I asked her as she was leaving the garden, what she thought about the sculpture? Well, I got an answer that went like this, the womman said "I wasn't looking at your sculpture, I was looking at the mural behind the sculpture." So I ain't so hot. Reality check time for yours truly. I didn't take any offense at her comment. I told her people like her made me strive harder to be more succesful. Rejection has a way of making me stronger. I did say to the women that my art life would continue on purpose inspite her not seeing my sculpture. When you're hot ,you're hot, when you're not you're not.
