Sold!

Both of my pieces were marked as "Sold" at the art show last night!  I didn't win anything from the jury, but I got nice compliments from some people at the show.  I even overheard someone talking about the abstract of the Caravaggio piece:

(most of this is almost not entirely accurate) (Edit: the two women are talking about a photograph displayed near my painting)

Woman #1: (to Woman #2) That's not a squirrel.  That's a cat.  It's upside-down, see? (they both consider a photograph next to my piece)
Woman #2: That's a cat?  It looks like a squirrel.  It's up in a tree, so I thought it was a squirrel.
Woman #1: What's this? (looking at my piece)
Woman #2: ...
Woman #1: Is he poking that...?  What is this?
Woman #2: ...squirrel...
Woman #1: I don't understand that.  What is that supposed to be?  And why is he poking him?

(/scene)

And, here is the picture I grabbed of the final work.
