That people would see the vision I was trying to portray. I know that validation alone will not bring happiness and I should just know that my work is great without others telling me so but it does bring me joy to see my work bring a smile to someone&#8217;s face. That is what made me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before the show started we had a steady stream of people stopping by the booth and though not everyone made a purchase I was so thrilled at how many compliments I received for my artwork. One, in particular, was from a fellow artist who loved my composition and use of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an entire day of hearing about how beautiful my work is, how brilliant it is, how eye-catching or enchanting it is I ended up with such a Happy High that I was beaming with pride for the first time ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall the show was fantastic, the weather was amazing, it was sunny and the air was cool and crisp. It has been over a year since we had been to a Science Fiction convention and did not realize until Saturday how much we missed conventions and can&#8217;t wait till the pandemic is over and we can go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See below for a few pictures of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
