The art bank pays off today.

I got a call to day from one of my early buyers. She wanted to bring her daughter to look in the studio. I always have art to see, I work consistently. I believe in having enough choices for studio visitors. I sold three works to my visitors. The works were from my shoebox inventory.My studio is on the top floor of my house, I took my visitors upstairs and I went back downstairs so as to not hover.
My art bank pays off again.I am thankful.

Shows That Sellout

I recently read in the Denver Post, a story ,about an artist who,sold every work in his exhibition.
Impressive,I hope he had enough money left to save some.
Sold out exhibitions are good.
Having some dough left after the show is even better.

Signs Of Life

I surf the web to find out if artists are selling their work with any frequency. From what I can tell there seems to be some selling going on. I do believe half of what I read about sales in these times. I do believe the daily painters are selling the works that are under one hundred dollars with some regularity. It must be a chore to paint the work, photograph it and upload the image on the web. It would be for me, but there are a lot of artists who are doing it. So in this time any sale is a good one. I'll have to survey some of the art festivals in the area this year to get some idea about art sales. It will be informative.

Recession Proof

Real artists are recession proof. These individuals always figure out how to get through economic bad times. I read about artists
who, have some clever ways to keep going. The main thing is , to keep going. I make art no matter what is happening with the economy. I read business magazines, to get new ways to show and sell my work and I always have work priced at an entry level for new people.
So far, so good. I am recession proofing my art life.
