Dave's Art Group

Dave's art at a showing in
Minneapolis
Dave goes to an art group on Tuesdays and another art group on Wednesdays.  When he lived in Minneapolis (for about 50 years) he did most of his art with a friend.  They did a number of shows together.  Dave's art always sold well.

But that's over.  Showing ones art is expensive (framing) and time consuming.  Dave loves being with his new friends.  He loves people.  The other day a new person; a beautiful, young Korean woman, showed up in the group.   Following is their conversation as Dave explained it to me.

Dave:  "Are you married?"

Beautiful Korean Woman:  "No."

Dave:  "Would you like to be married?"

Apparently there was some hesitation on the BKWoman's part but she essentially said:  "Yes."

Dave:  "Well, maybe I can help you out.  There is a Korean Congregation that meets at my Methodist church."

BKWoman:  "Why would I want to go to your Korean church?"

Dave:  "You know, to meet one of your people."

BKWoman:  "What are you talking about?  I'm Baptist."

Dave's latest. 
Dave thoroughly enjoyed this interchange.  He loves the interesting folks in his art group.  And no pressure to prepare for shows.  He paints for his own pleasure.
