My calendar says today I am going to blog.The word blog sounds a bit disgusting but seems to work with everybody's vocabulary.
I do ten to twelve art shows a year and meet about 1000 people per show. When you take these numbers back 20 years the total 'new friends' probably exceeds 100,000. And yet, folks will approach you smiling and say "We bought one of your pieces in 1999. Do you remember?'
The issue is memory and what you do with it. I find that if I answer too quickly with a 'NO' I have lost them and any possible current or future sales. But taking an extra couple of minutes and asking them to help me remember often leads to good feelings all around............

Happy Thanksgiving

White Peony oil painting by Alexandra Kopp

The flowers are long gone but this is one of the beautiful peonies that bloomed

 in June in our flower garden.  White Peony is available in my ETSY shop and

 is the third in as series of large flower blossom paintings that are all done

 on a 6x6x1 inch gallery wrapped canvas.

My other two flower paintings are part of the window display

 at Harford Artists' Gallery.
