It seems like I have been getting up at the crack of dawn every day since the beginning of time to hang my paintings on railings! It's probably day 5 or 6 and I still haven't sold a thing. Yesterday I had to do my slot of stewarding (it was a little bit chilly!) and whilst I didn't sell anything, I did get some really nice comments from people. Many seemed to think my work was fabric as there was so much texture etc. Whilst sales remain down across the whole show (over 50% now :( ), we did sell quite a few across the afternoon. One of the biggest sellers is well known Cheltenham painter Mike Kingston who paints some lovely beach style pictures. He has a real following and people turn up especially to buy his work. He turned up yesterday afternoon with a new paintings he'd just finished, put it up and within minutes it was gone! I wish some of his magic would rub off on me. I have also fell in love with a butterfly paintings which is only £50, but I think Gary my boyfriend will shoot me if I buy any more artwork for our house!!
