Alabaster #7 Sold

Today, I parted ways with Alabaster #7. Completing sales are always a bittersweet event, and my recent sales have been particularly bittersweet because they are of my newest work. Before last year, my sales were inconsistent and slow, and I had more time to spend with my sculptures before they found new homes. Now it seems I spend much more time with them as they develop, and not much once they have come to fruition. I wonder whether it would be more difficult to part with my older work, now that I've spent years with them in my office.
