rachel19 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well I finally finished the commission painting I was asked to do and I think it turned out quite well It was collected last weekend along with two others so I will have to start thinking about what to do next as Ihave none left lol! I also sold 3 sketches yesterday to someone in the pub which was an unexpected surprise! Finally things seem to be getting better although now i've said that i'll probably never sell anything else ever again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Rachel your pics are amazing, I showed the beans one to my husband who said (and I quote) 'Thats a PAINTING? wow some people are so fantasically talented aren't they' Our regular pub has a small room where it sells paintings by one of the bar people who spends term time at art school, we have bought six of them, perhaps someone local would display yours for you?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Congratulations Rachel . Do you have a photo of your commission painting? (It's not one of the ones you've posted already, is it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wow Rachel - I have just seen this thread for the first time. Your paintings are brilliant - my hubby actually thought they were photos as well. Keep going - you have real talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 They're really good and well done...I've looked into people displaying some of my canvas' of hens and everytime I either get a no or they don't even bother to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Here's a picture of the new one. Sadly ubereglu people don't seem to be willing to help most of the time - I can't find somewhere to display mine either. Just keep trying and im sure you'll get a breakthrough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Wow rachel that is fantastic, you are such a talented artist........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Lovely work Rachel Have you tried looking at Artist & Illustrator magazine and website? It has a list of galleries, societies and suppliers that may help. They also have an online gallery that can exhibit your work. I belong to my local art club and they hold exhibitions annually. I also submit paintings to neighbouring villages' art exhibitions. They usually only let you submit up to 4 paintings and some are a bit 'local' but you never know who'll swing by. I also tell the club who's running the exhibition that I'm open to commissions too. Feels great when you sell a painting, even better when you get a commission. Here are some of painting I have sold, as you can see I love animals and birds - I have yet to do any chook pics yet! http://www.slide.com/r/0seWPtAq0D9GPw7Wjb6lpcLyTfce1S6b?cy=ms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
