It sure is a beautiful thing to see. Thanks for sharing a little slice of your huge accomplishment. My favorite quote of all time is "what people say about me is none of my business". Your real friends know the truth and if they believe the others, than I guess they weren't really your true friends( or family).

It's always a relief when I come out of the fog and can shake the nastiness out of my system.Lori Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297328109318290291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-60829441539090374282014-02-23T14:45:50.961-08:002014-02-23T14:45:50.961-08:00A note on the paintings: All of the paintings stil...A note on the paintings: All of the paintings still survive, in tact and together. They reside in the home of a friend and collector. His private collection is dedicated to self-portraits by LGBT artists. I am honored to be a part of his collection and happy to know that a piece of my life, frozen in time, has been preserved. The pieces I made depict a time in my life when I was coming to know myself and turn my life around.<br /><br />To release these paintings into the world was powerfully cathartic. Even though I let go of them and that time in my life, I still remember.<br /><br /> Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.com
