TTD #12 - Get a piece of art into an exhibition

In 2009, a piece of my art that I'd actually done in 2007 was chosen for an exhibition.
The piece, titled 'Anomaly' was inspired by a song by Incubus called 'Anna Molly,' and in my opinion was rather juvenile.
Nevertheless, it sold for $150 after my ex's parents saw it on the wall, and remarked that the girl in the art looked a lot like me (heheh...).
So it hung in their lounge for sometime, and my ex's father told me that he'd be very proud to have it when I was a famous artist in the years to come.

And then last week, my mother (who had never seen the piece,) walked around to her nail table at her beauty salon and saw a piece of art stashed behind her table. She gasped and thought a client had left a recently purchased piece of art there, then suddenly saw my signature on it.
She was overjoyed, and it proved to be a nice mother's day present for her.
Left there, no note, no call, no text, nothing.
