boggle moment!
The dog catcher (long story involving an adorably dopey stray) entered the front door, walked along the short hallway leading straight to the back door and outside. He got the dog roped (easily) and then said, "So you're an artist, are ya?"

After boggling slightly, I said eruditely, "Whah?"

I couldn't understand how he'd picked that up -- I wasn't even wearing black clothes!* So I thought about what he'd seen in the hallway; a tall display shelf full of ceramics; a huge unframed canvas hanging on the wall and - if he'd peeked through the archway leading to the house proper - a framed print and a charcoal portrait hanging up in the rest of the hallway. Right. Okay. No photos to speak of. I suppose that's a bit peculiar; I do have photos around, but he didn't see them as they were out of his line of sight.

So I said, "What gave it away?" Apparently it was the huge canvas. He wanted to know if I did pottery too, but that's my mum's work. :-)

Observant guy, and very cute too. ;-)

(*This is a well known indicator to anyone who has been through art school or knows professional artists, lol!)
