I knew Mr. Patrick Sells in my art exhibition in Missouri State University in 2010. He came here and to find a painting of peacock for her wife. I said sorry I had not carried any peacock with me yet. But I would specially paint one for her wife.
Then I did it after I came back China and I sent them two paintings of peacock to them as their Christmas gifts.
Since then, we often wrote, both of them have been helping me by giving me some good advice and also in person to talk with the others and tried to do their best to help me.
Then her wife Dr. Pam Sells and Mr. Sells arranged a weekend for me to live in their house for a night during I am in Springfield this year. However, I must go to the presentation in the Conference of Southwest District of Art Teachers in Drury University and we had to miss the meeting that weekend.
With a grateful heart, I went to Mr. Sells' office and wished to have an interview with him. :-)
However, when I was there, there was a student in his office, so, instead of interview, we had a short talking and say Hello. :-)
I do hope that Mr. Sells and Dr. Pam Sells healthier, happier and luckier always and in the upcoming new year.
