Priceless
From today until just about Christmas I have been given wall space to hang some framed prints in a local exhibition and on top of this a further dozen and a half mounted ones on sale there too.
After trawling through the lows recently it certainly feels nice to be surfing on top of a wave for a short time.
To be asked by someone else to display in an exhibition is priceless. Regardless of whether a sale is generated the euphoric feeling of seeing your work hang splendidly for the next 6 weeks is something special for all artists.
We all want to see sales and commissions pouring in but for the vast majority it can seem an endless horizon which is why we must never lose faith in our desire, our obsession. We must always continue to do what we do and make work for all to see because ultimately all we want is others to see our work and understand who we are….

Fantastic news John. I’m really happy for you :-)

:-) Helen thank you. I’m grateful for all the support I’ve received from you. Being an outsider in a small community is often difficult to break in, especially when there are many other established artists. Now I feel I am getting known and my work appreciated locally which is a really nice feeling. I’ll keep you updated on how things progress….
