Answering the Question - Well it didn't sprout legs and just walk away

QUARANTINE CAREER THROW-BACK - #2
2003
If you’ll swipe left you will see another early painting.
This one was part of a public showing of 5 of my pieces in a nice business office ... And THIS ONE was stolen right off the wall!

Simultaneously a great compliment and also a made me angry.
PRO: Someone thought my work was worth acquiring enough to steal it. That’s the best critique I could have.

CON: However, why did they steal JUST ONE?! What was wrong with the other pieces? Not worth your time?

I filed a police report and they told me that there had been other art stolen in the county recently. They expected they were fenced by the perps for drugs. Again with the perps and the drugs.
The good news was that two years later, it was recovered.

It was the subject of a tv news story and a few articles. You can read about it at the links below:
