Wrapped with a Bow

Well the gallery experiment is over. I took my twelve pieces down the other night. I went into the whole experience with an open mind and tried not get my hopes up considering this was my first solo show. I can honestly say I have learned a lot from my showing at Calico Coffee House. Lots of good came out of the experience. Four pieces were sold, I gained one commission, a couple local galleries showed interest in my work and a private art collector/buyer/seller contacted me to display my work again for a private weekend showing at a local resort near the end of August. I didn't plan on producing any prints; however, this painting of mine collected a lot of attention. So I think I may run a series of limited edition prints before the Summer ends. It's exciting to have so many creative avenues come about because of my work. I feel much more confident now to create art and plan on scheduling more shows in the future. It was really fun and I'm glad I pursued this opportunity. Big thanks to Calico Coffee House, Sarah Furlotte, Dean Burke, Generator Advertising and everyone who took the time to drop by and support me. Thank you so much.
