Offsite Sale

Hi guys;

I don’t usually like to brag about sales, but I have to say, this was a good day. One of my pieces sold from a local gallery at a very handsome price, and I didn’t have to share it with RB. This has been one of my goals this year, to sell my own framed prints from a gallery. I hope this is the start of a new trend. It’s expensive to get these ready for sale, but you can turn a handsome profit when your art sells. I guess the old adage, “It takes money, to make money”, holds true. Well, maybe a little luck too…lol…

I mention this for those who may be disappointed about sales. It takes time, and you have to persist, and stay focused on what you want to accomplish with your art. Continue to strive to produce eye pleasing artwork, and you’ll see. It will happen.

Anyhow, this is the one that sold, to a total stranger I might add …

Always and Forever

Cheers. G.

    You are right, you can sell and rather than just rely on RB, doing your own marketing is a good investment.
    Well done

    Conga-rats, George! whoop, whoop! Thanks for the encouragement, and sales have to be done outside RB. Heck, we really can’t afford to buy stuff from each other!

    Fantastic, George!! My sales are coming slow, but picking up. I’m nowhere near good enough to show in a gallery yet! My sales come mostly from word of mouth from friends and customers. Hey, It’s a start! Friends like you give me the inspiration to keep up and continue to improve!
