Painters Tip
My new agent Carolyn Hufty is a smart gal. She came up with a clever idea for patrons. She takes a photo of me with my patrons and their painting. I send it to them via email if they are Internet active. If not, I print out the digital image and send it to them via postal mail. They can attach the photo to the back of the frame as a keepsake, or frame it to show friends. It's a wonderful way to preserve a fond memory of their visit to my studio.
I am going to have her do this at all of my paint out events and gallery openings too. I wish I had thought of this years ago.

I think this is a great idea, and if I ever get to the point where I am selling paintings, I may do it, too. This is a great photo you've included.

Thanks so much Madame. I think it's a great idea too. I'm glad my agent is a smart gal.
Love,

Yes, i find collectors--understanably--are looking for more than a piece of art, such as a back-story for the painting. I launched my online store yesterday, and I realized that I had blog posts that tell the story for many of my paintings. Mabe thatms why I have noticed many paintings featured in blogs sell, beyond exposure. This may be something I add soon, see if it makes a difference.
Well Ed, Anything we do to add an emotive quality to our work for patrons can't be a bad idea. Good luck with your store.r
Love,
Linda
