Following up

The show went better than what I had anticipated. I was busy talking to people and answering their questions about my art from about 15 minutes before we had planned to open to the end. I forgot to get some pictures of the show because I was on my toes the whole time. We had a great time. For those who missed the show and are asking to come to another, June 15 will be the next date and the location is in Chantilly this time.

Last night I recieved a new commission from a collector of my works. I'm really excited about seeing it develop on canvas. I'll post pics as it comes together. As I walked out of their door, paintings in hand, I ran into the next door neighbor who had also purchased some prints at the show and she invited me in to talk to her about doing a mural. Leaving her place I ran into my sister-in-law who lives on the other side of the 2 townhouses I had just been in. She is one of the main reasons I've been able to keep painting. About half of the work I've done so far is somehow related to her telling people about my work. She stopped me to tell me about someone she knows who is interested in a pieces of mine. In her row of town houses, there are 4 murals (soon to be 5), 8 paintings (soon to be 9), and I'm not sure how many prints. I've enjoyed working over there quite a bit - very nice people and the commissions have been pieces that I've really enjoyed doing. It's kind of a little creative island e over there.

This week I am following up on all the orders I recieved at the show for limited edition prints. I'm hoping to get the mat boards in and get them assembled in their archival bags and everything before I leave for NYC in a week. If I don't get everything together by then, I'll get them right after I'm back the following Tuesday. I'll deliver them ASAP for those who are waiting. I'll also hopefully have my prints online for sale here later today as I am getting requests daily for that.

Thanks everyone for making the home show a great time! I'm looking forward to the next one and later this summer I'll have one in NW DC. And a special thanks to Meredith Norris, who has made so much of my work possible so far!
