Highs and Lows of early 2019

Since mid Feb I have sold these ten pieces.  I sold at Thorpe Morieux Creation https://www.facebook.com/ThorpeMorieuxCreation/,  the Cocobelle event at Boxted Hall https://www.cocobelleevents.co.uk, a private sale from Instagram, and Suffolk Open Studios 2019 Showcase Exhibition at the Apex, Bury St Edmunds. https://suffolkopenstudios.org That's a high!

Here are some facts:

  • all of the exhibitions have been local
  • I showed a total of 22 pieces at the exhibitions
  • I showed 1 portrait
  • I showed 13 stilllifes
  • I showed 3 landscapes
  • I showed 6 'opened books'
  • I showed 3 egg temperas
  • I showed 13 pastels on paper or board
  • 1 monotype miniprint from the browser was sold.  I think there were about 12 things in the browser.
  • prices ranged from £150 - 340, framed.





Meanwhile, although I had a piece preselected for the Royal Portrait, ultimately I was unsuccessful. This was an egg tempera of Figgy. I submitted just below the maximum for the New English Art Club annual open exhibition, and had nothing preselected.  I sold three things as a drawing scholar last year at that event. I continue to submit for shows outside my local area but it's tough to get noticed. It's all 'art tax' but my success rate in early 2019 is certainly a low!
