The Art Unleashed auction benefitting the KC Humane Society was tonight. I donated a piece (the dog collar) titled The Bridge Crossed. I was so nervous that no one would bid on it. I didn't want to have to buy it myself... But I didn't even have to bid! There were several bids, including a small flurry towards the end of the silent auction. And I don't even know the person that bought it!
Silly as it may sound, I kind of felt validated as an artist. Like something I did was worth paying for. I know what my bio says...and I do mean it. I really would rather someone hate something than be unaffected. But at least a couple of people liked it! YEAH!
The only things I've sold in the past have been relatively "normal." This was the first remotely abstract or off-kilter kinda thing. I'm so stoked. I just had to tell ya'll.
