"Girl With A Plan" 5x7 Oil on Copper sold!

     I worked more on yesterday's painting.  I think it is great now!  I wanted this painting to look similar to "Thirsty Girl", the white chicken drinking water from the aluminum container.  They might look nice together in the museum show coming up Sept 19 in Yarmouth at the Skyline Farm.  

  These two ladies have a huge collection of art in two houses here in Maine and in Pennsylvania.  These just love to support artists and they love paintings!  They called to make an appointment at Lammers Gallery today, my own gallery.  I cleaned and bought some sparkling water for them to drink.  They arrived and had in their minds to purchase one painting. 

      I had over 200 paintings of mine to show them.  Luckily I had them separated by subject matter in scrap boxes with felt material in between each painting to protect them.  Most of my clients select paintings unframed from these scrap boxes and then select a frame at my gallery.  My husband Robert goes into the basement and frames them professionally for them!  

     While I was showing them paintings, I told them if they see any painting they liked, to let me know, and we would set it aside.  Soon we had several paintings set aside.  Then occasionally they decided to put back a painting into the box.  More paintings would be set aside.  We set all of their favorite paintings up on the floor against the white walls.  They admired them while I poured them sparkling water.  Sparkling water that is flavored everyone loves.  There is no caffine, no calories, and it is refreshing!  I let them take their time deciding.  Eventually one lady decided on one for her room.  Then the other lady really loved two of them.  So they ended up purchasing three!  We found nice frames that flattered each painting.  Robert came home, framed them!  They left so happy!  There is nothing like painting and handling my own sales.  I like being incharge of my own destiny! 

     I am going to paint late this evening!  Daisy and Duke are getting a "Paws" ice cream treat!  I am going to have an icecream sandwich as a treat for myself!  I deserve one!  Have a great night.  Hopefully we will have good weather tomorrow so we all can get out and paint!
