 Charge On Rhinoceros Spirit! |
| What I've learned so far ... In order to become a successful artist, one must grow 2" thick skin and continually charge after goals with persistence and tenacity. |
Our Black Friday, Saturday (& Sunday) Sale was fairly successful. Everyone who came had a super good time and left with some free gifts and new art treasures. Although more than a dozen pieces of art found new homes (or will be waiting for one under the Christmas tree), this event did not meet my projected goals. I was disappointed in the number of people who actually showed up. If I had a dollar for everyone who said they were coming and didn't, I could buy myself a very nice dinner. It's human nature that people are trying to be nice, I guess. So tell me artists, don't you prefer honesty over brown-nosing politeness? If someone dosen't have any intention of coming why tell me otherwise? It's like hearing the old line, "I'll be back" at art shows. One time after hearing that a dozen times in a single day, I just blurted out in frustration, "Oh, no you won't!" I know it was wrong of me, but now it kind of makes me chuckle to remember the shocked look on that well intentioned lady's face.
It took a lot of planning and a couple of days of hard work to get the studio set up for this event. We are very pleased with the display and have decided to leave it up during the month of December.
I am offering appointments to view over 150 framed and 100 matted original watercolors accompanied by 30 gallery wrapped and framed acrylics painted over the past decade.
A 20% discount will be applied to all items purchased at the studio until Christmas. This is a substantial savings. My regular original painting prices will be going up 10% as of January 1, 2014.
I also have gift certificates which can be used for lessons, paintings and prints; all purchased now through the end of the month at a 20% discount.
I hope some of you local people reading this will consider making an appointment to come by my studio.
Give me a call at: 609.268.9106
or email me at: Sandy@SandySandy.com.
I don't know if and when I'll have such a varied
collection of work on display together again.
Thanks for stopping by.
I hope you didn't mind a little ranting.
Have a good one!
