Buy Prints from my Original Artwork
Let's see this piece has traveled up and down this downtown 4 times now and it surely can find its permanent home soon. Its first venue closed on a whim. It was getting great reviews but then suddenly the Restaurant gallery that had been open for 20 years closed. I did have a contract in place and was able to retrieve it , but I only had 6 hours to get it out of there. Did I tell you, it is too large to fit in my car.
Its next stop was @Sfeer&company a popup furniture store, where thankfully the owner let me place it and this location was only a block from the restaurant. Yes it went down 4th street again. Then it went to @kindrendSpirts for the summer months. #AntoninaWhaples the owner, Graciously adopted it and placed it in her retail stores and gallery. This time it traveled past @mellowmushroom @crabshack @jimmyjohns @cvs and the bus station, to get there on Trade Street. This week I was able to secure a Solo Show at a brewery venue; @footnotesandcoctails where the show will be up for 2 months. I am elated to get the holiday parties! Then again the painting was carried up the streets of downtown to rest in its new venue for a while. We were blessed with a sunny day and more accommodating citizens supporting its trip. So this "documented" travel was a pleasure.
This piece is for sell and its purchase would take a good burden off of this artist.
I forgot to mention I bought the canvas half price from Hobby Lobby just to realize I could not get it home. It took me 3 days to get someone to help me or to..... "ask for help". Shipping, oh no, that had a $200.00 + oversized surcharge. Why so large, you ask? Well that is another story. This darling piece started out as a commission piece for a very large space in a home. At almost completion, the buyer reneged altering funds for a new baby instead. I am all for that, but still. Another big lesson learned.
Artist life is wonderful, but extremely challenging with problems around every corner. Like; do I buy a new car? or Do I just limit my creations to those that will fit in mine? Since I am an artist, I guess I should op for the first and get a lot better at asking for help. Ha!
