On Painting and Being Blond

Recently people have been commenting on my hair. They say I look good. They ask about my haircut and I tell them I cut it myself. I'm getting alot of attention simply because my hair does not respond to hair-color anymore and I don't know why but it looks really blond now, not gray but blond. I am wondering if this is the only reason I'm being noticed, I think it is. I don't mind until one more man over 75 years old takes me aside and tells me some joke about a blond and a sideways telephone pole. I haven't got this much attention for my artwork.

Then the question becomes "Well, do I paint to get attention?" It helps ...but it's like my hair now...I'm blond and that's how it is, I paint and that's how it is.

    I am reminded of this fly at the frame in addition to one of the very last paintings he made just weeks before he died of a self-inflicted wound.

Maybe YOU are the artwork, so it's all one and the same.
