A merry Christmas to all.
I was in the pop up gallery yesterday, manning our final day. It was a bit busier than my previous stints, but I managed to paint this between selling and wrapping up paintings.
When we got an unexpected extra month for our exhibition in the shop, I was very enthusiastic, but my sales seem to have dropped off a cliff edge in the run up to Christmas. Up until November they had been trickling out quite well and I thought the final month, with three exhibitions, might even yield an increase in sales; how wrong I was.
So the year ends on a low. Still, I love the act of painting and without having the above painting to occupy my time yesterday, standing alone in the gallery would have been a real chore. Even though I didnt sell any of my paintings, I did sell some paintings of others and the fact that I came home with this, made the day worthwhile.
So if you fancy a painting, try my website. There are plenty still available: grahammcquadefineart.com
Merry Christmas !

I’ve had similar at the shop I was selling sorta well earlier this year, Graham; wish I’d been able to stop by your blog a bit more too; but have full faith you’ll have a great year coming – Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! 😊

Thanks Felipe. It’s a very fickle business. I need to stop the anticipation and keep on enjoying the painting.

Lol! I’ve been reminding myself that for years now 😊 But kidding aside, it really is tough getting a little traction then feeling it slide away, so there really is only our faith and foundation of love for doing art ❤️ — Merry Christmas, happy holidays, Graham!
