It’s been a good week. The collector came back and chose 3 watercolors to bring as gifts when she visits family in Slovakia next week. I delivered a small drawing that was sold in July; the owner proudly showed me how it will be hung in good company.
Selling my art to people is an exchange that fosters relationships and I enjoy the interaction. The work I have done in the studio on a very personal level gains a new dimension by becoming part of somebody else’s environment. In the collector’s home, it starts another story. In the course of the last three weeks, I have completed several watercolors, and painted some new ones.
They are now photographed and ready for another exhibition. This is a good place to stretch out into another body of work.
I am thinking of a change of scale. Start with that, see what happens, and of course, keep you posted.
