Meeting a great artist

I was able to hang out with Jared Emerson in downtown Greenville. I was able to see him paint an oil portrait of a beautiful young girl for a client of his. I tried to soak up as much as I could. I watched for an hour (I think) and
we went up to "Spill the Beans" where I was going anyway to hang up another original. When we got to the coffee shop there was a police officer questioning the manager(Sarah Curtis) and good friend of mine about a robbery that had just happened. Jared said to me, "Dude, someone just stole your picture!" Hah ha. They had not but it did give me a little scare.
