My favorite story along my painting journey began with a phone call. The restaurant featuring my paintings was on the line. "We wanted to let you know that someone tried to steal one of your paintings last night. We caught them in the parking lot and were able to retrieve your painting. Just wanted to let you know." When I asked which painting the culprit tried to steal I was shocked! The painting was a large painting in (you guessed it), the ladies restroom! The reason I was so surprised was twofold, the size of the painting, 24"x36", and the sheer distance from the ladies restroom to the front door of the restaurant. As it turned out, a group of ladies had been partaking in some cocktails and had gotten a bit rowdy. They went to the restroom after closing out their tab and evidently decided to take the painting as a party favor. Once caught in the parking lot, they were very contrite and gave up the painting. My husband and I had a good laugh envisioning the entire spectacle. So, one of my proudest moments, when someone liked one of my painting well enough to steal it. Regardless if a bunch of alcohol was involved!
