The reaction came at once:
"It is so dark and so big... don´t you have something else?"
Saying that, his face told such an horror story that if I were not so well-educated, I would have left at once, with all my paintings. Instead of that I humbly hung the painting where he said, on another wall which is most of the time hidden by an open door to another room. The other paintings, luckily, were brighter... although by one of them, the man said:
"I guessed Hamburg..."
and it was featuring a harbour here in Spain... 2 kilometers away from the Eye Clinic location! My fault I guess, as i painted it in northern colours...
I wanted to show you today some photos of the exhibition, But I was so fed-up that I couldn´t do any... and the rest of my day was spoiled! People sometimes are so cruel with us, artists. I don´t even believe they mean to be, and perhaps it´s only me who has such an extremely high sensitivity...
But don´t worry, I´m fine now, and all my energy is back.
I have just started the new "Give me a Title" competition on Planet Goodaboom. Feel free to participate and... there is something to win!
Here is the painting featured in the competition:

I think it is an occupational hazzard of being an artist (in other words, the sensitivity is not just yours). I'm sure the fellow felt that you are such an amazing artist that he could not effect you in that way.
I couldn't think of a very good title for thisone. It is sooo full of symbolism. I wanted to call it "THe Siege" or the "Flight of the ______, but I couldn't name them. I'll prbably dream oneup tonight!
