Mustang Spirit9" x 12" Oil on hardwood $125.00
Yesterday i sold two more paintings to a collector I made during the Brookhaven Show. I actually get more joy out of selling a painting than I would if I made the same amount working a regular job. The feeling of someone paying you for something you created never gets old to me. I love the fact that some one has my work hanging in their house for all to enjoy. The sale of those two paintings now means I have sold 75 originals just this year. That is a lot considering the economic crisis we are in.
I far exceeded my goal of 50 for the entire year, who knows I may double the goal. Next years goal will be 100 paintings and a higher income. Without goals I would have nothing to strive for. My other goal is to have 50 locations selling my work by the end of next year. Right now I have 6 places selling my work and two are galleries. So I have a long ways to go to reach 50 but I think it is manageable. That will mean that I have to triple production which is not going to be easy.
The Kennesaw show is this weekend and I hope it will be a good show. There are only 27 artist but that really does not matter because they have promoted it well to the public. Sometimes the smaller shows turn out to be better than the big shows less competition for the wallets of shoppers. The cost is low and I should be able to make some sort of profit.
We also have the Polo Club show which should be profitable I am donating a framed print which will make my 10th donation this year. No the donations do not count as originals sold that is a separate number.
I am need to go and paint a bike racing painting for this weekend I am low on those from the last two shows
