I recently had the good fortune of selling 2 pieces from my solo show, “Something for Everyone”, at Kerbey Lane Restaurant in San Marcos, TX. I got to meet John, who bought 2 of my favorite pieces, “Porto Venere Bell Tower” and “Spring Point Lighthouse”. It’s awesome that he liked two pieces that were different in so many ways – size (small vs large), pallets (bright, warm vs subdued, cool), and landscape locations (Porto Venere, Italy vs South Portland, Maine)! Just proves how versatile art can be!
One of the most rewarding things about selling a painting, even rivaling the cold hard cash, is the chance to meet people who are actually intrigued by something I created. The inspiration I have for a composition isn’t always what piques a collector’s interest. Having the opportunity to chat with new buyers is always an interesting and enjoyable experience for me, as I get to learn about some sliver of their lives and where their newly purchased artwork will fit into their world.
Thanks for reading!
