Stood in front of my booth for 4 hours at the Denver expo and one guy made it worth it
This older guy named Carl walked up, stared at my digital painting for like 5 minutes without saying a word. I thought he was gonna walk away but then he pointed at the sky in the piece and said 'that cloud has the same shape as my dog's ear, I love that.' Nobody else that day noticed the little details I put in. Has anyone else had one random comment stick with you way more than the sales?

4 years ago at a small craft fair in Boulder, this mom walked by my booth with her toddler in a stroller. The kid was maybe 2 years old, not even looking at my stuff, just babbling. But as they passed my painting of these crows on a wire, the kid pointed and said "birds talking." That was it, just two words. But I remember thinking about how that kid saw a conversation happening in the painting that I hadn't even realized I painted. Sales come and go, but that moment stuck with me way more than any dollar amount.

22 crows on a wire @the_grace, but kids just call things like they see them.
