“She concurs.” Giselle’s voice was soft but sure.
“She concurs? She will exhibit her work in my gallery?” Bette’s excitement could barely be concealed.
“Ms. Kennard is in agreement that if she were to exhibit in the US, The Porter Gallery would in all likelihood be the best gallery for her work, however……. she is not convinced that her work would garner the appreciation that she enjoys in Europe. She is concerned for her arts value. Not monetary but, for it’s historical value.”
Bette’s ego had been inflated and then deflated before she could catch her breath.
“Giselle, if I could speak with her. I feel sure that I could present a compelling argument for her to bring her work to the US.” Bette’s voice was supremely confident albeit slightly pleading.
“Argument? It seems as though you love a good argument Ms. Porter.”
“Giselle?” Bette’s eyes were wide. That did not sound like Giselle. It was an American accent. “Giselle?”
“No Ms. Porter, it is Tina Kennard.”
Bette’s words slowly trickle out of her mouth. “Ms. … Kennard…..”
“Tina. Please call me Tina.” She still had a very American accent though she had lived in Europe for several years now.
“Tina. It is such an honor to have the opportunity to speak with you. I certainly appreciate that you have taken your time to join our conversation.”
“I’ve been here all along.” Bette could hear the smile gently creasing Tina’s lips.
Bette began. “Tina, your work is so compelling. Its place in the history of contemporary art is well defined. Your art being cloistered in the cape of all that is European is denying many, many art lovers the opportunity to breath it in. It’s power is electrifying. It would be a crime to never bring it to your home country where your artists blood began to pump through you. Your art was born here …..” But before she could finish, Tina interjected.
“But will it die there?”
“Absolutely not. An exhibit of your work in my gallery will only compound the effect that it has on those who see it and those who only have the opportunity to read about it. Tina, it is extraordinary. There has been nothing like it before and there will likely not be anything like it again. Your body of work over the last ten years speaks to the very soul of art. Your expression … your insight your ….. touch. There has just never been another …….”

Hmmm…what else will Bette convince Tina to do???? Great story line djrk.
Yes! A fantastic beginning from a fantastic author! This is a great take and I can’t wait to read more from you!

This is a fantastic story DJRK! We are hooked and it sounds so promising! We look forward to your next post. Can’t wait for B&T to meet. It seems we will see some fireworks there. PPS Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
Bette the ICE PRINCESS, that is awesome. Now to bring on the BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS to melt the ICE PRINCESS’ heart, then we are in for an awesome ride.
looks like another winner here… love this beginning and who better then bette porter to convince tina kennard… looking forward to read more…PPS
What a great beginning you are giving us. I can’t wait to read the next chapter. pps
Hello djrk… well that was quite a start you got there… I love the prospect of Tina as an artist… a creator… and for Bette this opportunity will only allow her to showcase her passion and desire for Art… but most importantly for life… I feel it would be so beautiful to see Bette go to Tina in France and experience the ‘life’ of art with an artist… and through this art and this love they ‘might’ just develop something that has been missing within both of their lives… a soul to share their passions with… who cares about everyone else if Tina found ‘the’ one person who could see her art and read her soul she would be complete… and if Bette could be the inspiration for the art that she loves so dearly then she would forever be immortalized in that which she loves… I can feel a very cat and mouse game coming on here… and it would also be interested if another gallery might jump in and try to claim ‘Tina’ for themselves… keep on rocking this one out of the part, sincerely, JC
a brilliant start, can’t wait to read more!! ppvvvvvvvvvvvvs!!
