First Gallery Show - Aftermath

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 7:41 PM
Wow. My first show was last night. Three artists, four hours. The gallery, Reflection Fine Art in Dallas, Texas, did a tremendous job of publicity and execution. They have a great gallery director and sales associates who talk up the potential buyers and bring the artist in to "close" the sale if needed. I had eleven pieces there and sold four of them. Each piece was $2500 or higher, so I'm on seventh heaven. Everyone said 4 of 11 sold at a first show by a new artist is a wonderful result and a good omen for the future!

All pieces remain up until June 6 and I will be there each friday night to assist in further sales when people show up for the Gallery's weekly friday night gallery series.

I have been fortunate to have good luck early and I don't take it for granted! Thanks to everyone on DA for your great support and enthusiasm!

Cheers and congrats on your show! It's always nice to hear that work's being sold! (funds for making more! yeah!)
*IPaintTheMoon:iconIPaintTheMoon: 6 days 5 hours ago
lol. I am watching over 50 artists on here. That may be a bit excessive..?.. I wish I could get paid to look at art all day. :)
I never noticed a different smell for different colors, but I guess it was so long ago that I was using them constantly. I painted at my parents dinner table before I moved out. I also painted on whatever surface I could find, be it cardboard or paper. It would have been very difficult to do more than one at a time, but I am that way now. I have a multitude of paintings started, and some I may never finish...lol I hope to have a whole room in my house to dedicate to my art soon. Then I will a total recluse. :D

No such thing as liking art too much. You said some things that are pretty interesting to me--i went the reverse direction that you did--i went from acrylics to oils. But I'm also VERY impatient. The way that I've dealt with that is by working on 3-4 pieces at once. Since the paint has to dry between sessions I just move to the next piece! I also have kind of become addicted to the smell. Each color smells different and each one tends to pull back a memory for me. Art is great. I'm alive when I'm painting.

Mostly acrylics, but I dabble with just about anything. I started with oils, but was too impatient. I have recently gave them another go. I discovered that I had missed the smell of oil paint... I think I may like art a bit too much...lol Thanks for looking at my website. My husband is my webmaster...

Oh there's no doubt that they are a metal band first! They simply fall under the more general heading of Rock. I have every song they've ever written. Even the real old sludgy sounding stuff from Call of the Mastodon. It is awesome.
