A painting just taught me a lesson...

Remember my painting "Learning to hold with open hands"? I think it just taught me a lesson. It's weird, I usually scan all of my painting in high resolution and keep them organized by month.  My business depends almost entirely on those images.  I was about to make the woodblocks from that image and guess what? It wasn't there. It is not in the backup either... it's just not here.  So I think it taught me a lesson, the very lesson it was on it.  I could recover an image to make small prints but not the big ones... anyway, I think I definitely learned to hold with open hands, and let them go if they don't want to stay here, right?
