Vagabond Artist

Last Tuesday I went to the atelier to clear out my space so that the person that would be taking it over temporarily would have room to work. She is a very cool artist originally from the US East coast. The space looked great with nothing on the walls and all the junk put away - clarity. We sat and chatted and talk about our experiences. I had hoped, sort of, to see Louis but he was not there.

It had been over a week since I had seen him and I wanted to be sure that he understood that I am firm on my decision about him leaving and was just not temporarily crazy because I am pregnant (his insinuation in our last conversation.)

After about 40 minutes he arrived. He was smiling and in a good mood, the good ole Louis that I thought I knew from before. I said hello and introduced him to the new sudio mate and said pull up a chair. He did and told me straight away that he had found two spaces and was almost surely going to move out by April 15th. I was pleasantly surprised and so was the new studio mate. He realized that he needs a place to himself. I told him that I was desolé to have asked him to leave and he said basically to forget about it, that it is the best decision.

Last Thursday he called and told me that he is leaving by April 1st. I am so happy! I was thinking that it was going to be a long drawn out uncomfortable situation but no. It has worked out well.

Thanks to the guardian angel that looks over me.
