So I guess since I live here in TX now I need to do a "HOWDY Y'ALL!"

People here are so friendly, Southerners are really social. I tend to be more antisocial. I kind of resent the time people sometimes take away from my painting as well, unless they are buying, of course.

I once spent an hour and a half listening to a local preacher tell me how he and his wife are as good, if not better, than I am at painting, but how you just can't make a living at it these days. He was so full of himself. I was about to lose it when an actual client arrived, thank goodness!
