Hi!
Well, it has finally happened!
As of two days ago, I am now represented by Rivers' Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, MI.
Funny thing, about 25 years ago I walked into this same gallery with a lump in my throat and a small box full of miniature watercolors.
Had I known then what I know now about selling through galleries, I would have given it more time before pulling out. But being impatient with no sales after just a few weeks I walked away and gave up on the gallery route.
Perhaps that is why it's taken me this long to drum up the courage to try again.
Despite that immature mistake a quarter of a century ago, the kind lady at River's Edge recognized me, remembered my watercolors, and was eager to have me back.
When she and the gallery manager saw my oil work they accepted it on the spot and asked how soon I could deliver five paintings!
I did a double-take. Wait, WHAT!?
Had I heard them correctly? I asked a dozen or more questions until I was certain I understood what they meant. This was much easier than I have been led to expect.
I was fully prepared to start a carefully scripted conversation and to re-establish and nurture a relationship before submitting my work for review.
Then I would expect to wait weeks or months to hear back.
I am STILL pinching myself!
Here are the five paintings I delivered.
