Lucky Pork Chop, 8" x 8", oil on panel

I've been painting and drawing and making things now for some number of decades. You would imagine that by now I wouldn't be so surprised when something turns out well. I don't mean to imply that it always happens or is even common (see the post about the recent Habanero). But when it does happen, it's as though someone has handed me a winning lottery ticket. Maybe someone has. Good things are afoot. Several new galleries have contacted me about showing work. I don't know that I believe in luck but let's pretend I do. Please wish me luck.
