Hey, everybody! It's been ages since I last blogged. The reason I haven't been blogging is that I started doing a little part-time work with the gallery that represents me, Greenwich House Gallery. I'm having such a blast, and I have to say, I'm learning by leaps and bounds. If you ever have a chance to work in a gallery, even just occasionally or for a brief time, do it. I really had no idea how much goes into running a gallery until I went behind the scenes, and it has helped me understand how I can improve my chances of success with art sales.
In my next couple of posts, I'd like to tell you about some of the things I've learned about how artists can build better relationships with their galleries, but for now I just want to ask a question:
If there's one thing you could tell your gallery representatives about what you want or expect out of the gallery relationship, what would it be?
PS These two new paintings are for a group show starting February 11 at Greenwich House called Romantic Landscapes: Now and Then.

My response to people making enquiry's about paintings that my gallerys have.. is just to redirect them to the gallery owner and to make it clear that all work currently in that particular gallery the sale has to go through that gallery..often the sale never happens but at least I know i have done what is fair for the gallery, and myself though often people just dont understand the business arrangement between gallery and artists.
