I know this is, or at least is supposed to be, an uplifting time of year, so please forgive me for the following rant. I am beginning to hate technology! Yesterday I deleted about 130 emails that appeared in my inbox in one day's time. You have to look carefully so you don't get rid of an important one. Then I found Dawn and Ed's weekly email had been sent to the spam folder by some higher tech guru who thought it to be irrelevant.
On the positive side I got an order for a large tryptic on canvas from a couple who had seen it hanging in my booth about 6 years ago. I didn't have it in stock but could print it again and frame it up. That was until my Photoshop program refused to print to my large printer. That took a couple of phone calls to India and a day to get fixed. Another program I needed and use on a regular basis took a crap, just when I need it to fill the order. Couldn't speak to an actual person about that problem, but they tell me they will get back to me via email when they can, while apologizing for the delay due to higher than normal volume. Makes me appreciate pen turning where everything is mechanical and substantially the same as it was 50 years ago.
Anyhow, I eventually got it finished and delivered it just after the new year. The couple who bought it were very patient and loved it so much they sent me a picture of it hanging above their fireplace. Their picture is attached below.
