Hi Jim, I have a different perspective. I would be honored to have work hanging in someone's home over their sofa. That 
means they chose to make it a part of their daily life, a big compliment. If it fails to hold interest after years daily scrutiny, 
I'm not gonna beat myself up. We don't admire even the greatest art for more than a few minutes in a museum, and I don't 
have near the aspirations those folks did.
