There aren’t many things that I regret in my life, unfortunately this isn’t one of them.
I painted this back in 2003 while still attending the Art Institute of CA - Orange County. I was the typical starving artist and I had no experience. The only way I could make money was to sell my paintings. I didn’t even get that much from them either, which was always hard when it was time to let them go. But I like everyone else had bills to pay.
This painting and I, have a special connection. It reminds me of my beginning of my career, my struggle to make it. I regret selling it… But I think what I regret the most is not remembering who I sold it too. All I remember is that I shipped it to New York and from there it was being shipped to Japan. I can hope this painting still exists some where. It would be amazing if some day it found its way back to me.
