So the last 3 months have been crazy – I sold over 30 paintings
and created 8 custom commission pieces. My customers are law firms and banker from the east coast to Canada. It seems interesting and overwhelming at times keeping up with all this. However, I’ll take the business all day and art lives even in bad economic times. 
I also spoke to a world renowned Abstract Artist recently and she
advised me my prices were 3 times to low. The way it works is raise the price of your work and collector’s will purchase; otherwise you’re limited to the day to day buyer. A collector wants to say “I spent $3000 on this piece”not $500. So,
In Sept of this year, I will raise my prices 3x and go for the brass ring.
Knowing that a Abstract Artist at the top love my work and is willing to coach me is awesome.
 So thank you world for a wonderful 3 months and all you artist
out there…keep painting and promoting…….

Awesome Month for Art! I have met so many great people over the last few months and I have many new opportunities to show my work in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. But the cost to do these shows holds me back. Not that it would not be worth paying so much to be part of these great festivals and shows...just a large amount of money I do not have additional reserves for....what to do????
So I sit and ponder where to go, pick one, don't do it, do it.....the mind is not the simple place it use to be...however, I keep producing more art and selling it...The mystical and magical universe bless me day after day...
