I just received an e-mail this am from the director of the Gallery here, where my figurative work is shown. She said sales have been down. I hear that as well from artists in competitive shows in this area.
I sold two paintings in the last month, but usually inquiries for estimates are greater than they have been lately.
I am using this time to improve and work on a body of figurative paintings for an upcoming show in September, 2002. I try to remind myself that we are all in this together. I believe the ecomony will recover, providing no further damage occurs, God willing.
