Exhibition Night

Well my first charity auction was definitely an experience!
A few negatives first: the paintings were not placed on display and were auctioned at first sight. Also they were auctioned all together rather than individually. I was surprised I sold any!
But positives: I sold 4 paintings and nearly £6,000 was made for prostate cancer 🙂 I also have a commission set up who I will be speaking to next weekend. I also learnt valuable lessons:
1. Try not to take peoples comments to heart.
2. Know you’re limitations
3. Be more positive.

The painting that sold the most happened to be the one I was considering not taking because I didn’t think it was good enough! Lesson learnt 🙂

Finished: Treecock!

Sorry about the name! 😀 My friend named it that and it’s kind of stuck.
All finished! I’ve added more details and some gold and painted in the main body.
Hopefully it will do well at auction tomorrow 🙂

Exhibition

It was very sudden but Monday evening I was asked if I would like a charity to buy my work off me so they could sell it off at auction. I was completely flattered!
I have eight ready… so I need to wack out 2 more before Friday evening.
The charity are going to buy them all for £30 each and then anything more will then go to the charity. So I have the potential of making £300 on Friday night without taking a single item of clothing off! Haha!
I know £30 isn’t a lot – thinking purely selfishly here – but I’m also pretty strapped for cash for some oncoming news that I will review later this month *shhh secret squirrel*
Also it would be really interesting to see how much they would go for! (Again thinking purely selfishly)
I’m thinking of doing a peacock as my number 9. What do you think? 🙂
