Very original and well executed. It will sell fast, I bet!

Get some top quality photos of it before it sells, though. (Very high res digitals or even better, 4x5 transparencies.) -- I bet you could make a profitable limited edition series of prints with this one!

Thanks ladies!

Now that you mention 'giving birth' - I think this thing was on the easel about 9 months (or more). I've never taken that long before.

Michele, from your mouth to art buyers ears. Im hoping to get into a very very well-established gallery with this one. I've been in competitions at this gallery, but Im hoping for full-time representation. My painting sold this year during their Salon show...so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Well actually, Im saying to myself "they'd have to be crazy not to take me." (nothing like pumping yourself up). I sent them slides and all info they wanted, but if I get a face-to-face meeting I think I'll bring this one since I didnt have it done to send a slide. If I dont hear from them, I'll take the painting to them to frame and maybe catch someone's eye. If they take me on, I really want to discuss prices with them. Mine are still way too low and I think being represented by a bigger gallery maybe can give me the crediability to get into a better range.

Some would say it has to happen the other way around. That raising prices (if the work is good, as yours is) brings credibility of its own.

Hi Kim!

I just noticed that you have this completed. It was worth the wait! I love the subject and your own wit and sense of humor shines right through.

Jean

ps, I think you may have handled your move better than I have, I just can't seem to get going again. I still have unpacking to do, and get easily distracted when I try to paint. I wish I had your energy, maybe I have to go back to high test coffee again!

Thanks Jean!

Most people are distracted for months and months after a move. Im a professional though. I've moved 18 times in 17 years because of my husband's job. I can have a 3000 square foot house set up in under 2 weeks. It's an acquired skill, but I dont recommend the training. We are staying put though. We've bought, and there will be no more moves. I'm going to dig my grave in the backyard next week...just to make sure it is clear I am staying for the long haul.
