Sometimes Things Pop Up Out Of Nowhere

I was fooling around on Facebook today, mostly browsing through pictures for amusement, entertainment, and inspiration. I looked at a picture of a friend of mine and noticed something in the background...one of my old paintings. It was an abstract that I had done in a series in the early Nineties. I had actually forgotten that I had done them. As I stared in amazement at my blast-from-the-past I thought I might search a little further. I went to the album that the picture was from and found another containing that painting and another from my Southeast Missouri State days, one of my cubic shadow paintings (the second one that had popped up to remind me of it's existence). Maybe experiences like this only happen to me and others who can't remember all they have done in the past. If that's true, then it's a shame. It was like running into an old friend.
