The painting is in the upper right corner of Krista Schaedlich's Berlin assemblage, shown here by Krista's granddaughter Sara. This is the first artwork I sold as a "grownup" artist, fresh in art school.
Going back even further in time, I sold many of my childhood drawings to passersby in front of our Austin, Texas house. This is how I got the (for a 7-year-old in '78) enormous sum of $30 together to buy myself the Easy-Bake oven I wanted so desperately. The mechanics of Art Selling are the same today as they were back then.
