Art Crush

I was invited to an art exhibition 

that I happily attended as the painter

is local and is quite known.

He was an art teacher in the high school that I attended, 

and although it was long before my time, 

I still feel the connection.

The exhibition was held at a local museum and it was 

p a c k e d.

I ran into a high school friend that I had not seen

in, well, at least 15 years.

She did not recognize me. As usual.

I never get recognized.

But, the highlight of the night and of the day was

running into MY high school art teacher who had 

been a himself a student of the painter back in the day.

Not only had he been my teacher, but, he

had been one of my favorite ones.

He was patient, caring and in general a good person.

So even though my chances of being remembered were

pretty much zero, I could not pass this opportunity to 

let him know he had been such a good teacher and that

even though I was never very artistic, 

he literally brought out the best I had in me.

I even told him that I keep my high school sketch book from

his class, which I actually do.

I cannot tell you how very happy I was.

First of all I never run into anyone from my

high school and he was not just "anyone" - he 

was my favorite art teacher   e v e r .
