A cold wind blows

A Cold Day To Play
16" x 20" Oil on canvas $400.00

When I walked outside this morning it was chilly which made me think of this painting. This is a painting from my street musician series which has not taken off like I thought it would. Some of the paintings have sold and others gain attention but have not found a home just yet.

Trends come and go and right now with the US economy in the toilet I don't expect to sell much other than small paintings. I am going to launch a newsletter as soon as I finish this blog to boost my commission sales for the holidays. I am also going to mention the Gay Cotton Pickin Festival this weekend. I am a little worried and I am asking myself why did I feel this would be a good show. You never know I have done well at shows I expected to be less than good.

Shows over all have been down with all retail sales so I don't expect to make a fortune this weekend just hope to not loose money. I am taking a lot of smaller things as well as prints which usually sell well. So we will see I have a corner booth which should help.

Well not much to say this morning I have to save some thoughts for the newsletter.
