Dispersal !

The following week, Debbi was out shopping when she noticed a large and noisy group of teens outside the gallery. She was aghast to discover that her paintings were on open display in the window. Well, all of them minus the sixth 'modern assertive woman' that was presumably deemed to be too explicit for such public exhibition !

The teens were busy taking selfies when Debbi was spotted. "Hey, that's you innit ?" one of them called to her, pointing at the window. "What ? Me ? No, don't know what you mean" Debbi mumbled. "Yeah, course it is. Spitting image. Come here and let's have a photo of you with them." Debbi scurried away hurriedly, head down. "Spoilsport !"

Over the next few weeks, Debbi began to learn where the paintings were going to end up permanently residing. To her horror, the classical back view of her was acquired by Jeff for the company board room, 'to show our commitment to promoting culture'. Carol informed Debbi that she had heard the quartet of paintings with the Grecian urn had been purchased to provide a touch of class to the decor of an exclusive pole dancing club. The 'assertive modern woman ' ? Too graphic for open display, this was now housed in the newly refurbished men's toilets of the company's favourite local pub !
