Lost and Found Art

I participated in the Gulfport Fine Arts Festival last weekend and, in spite of the stormy weather, the crowd was big and sales were brisk. A lady bought one of my small butterfly paintings (gold metallic background) [because] it would go well in her house. She paid and asked me to keep it [and said] she would be back for it. I stashed it somewhere in the gear boxes. When the lady came back on Sunday, I could not find the painting. Eventually, the lady decided to take another butterfly painting (blue metallic background) and said she would make it work… I felt terrible. Where did the thing go? Only Sunday evening packing up I found the painting in the bottom of one of the gear boxes! I would love to get in touch with the lady and give her her original choice and also have her keep the “replacement” one. I hope she gets this message. –Monika Watson, Gulfport (Publisher’s note: The Gabber has Monika’s phone number)
