Thank you. Unfortunately, it is very cold and not always blue, lol.

Thanks Barrie, the truth is I'm selling them faster than I can paint them so that's why there is so many. No, I'm not complaining, lol.

Well, to tell the truth Barrie I'm not getting a lot of money for my work as I'm selling on eBay. However, it is paying my credit card bill every month and I don't have to worry now when I buy art materials as I feel I am justified in splashing out. You know how expensive going into an art shop can be. Also, I am surprised how many customers come back for more of my work. I've noticed too that the bidding is rising. I opened up store there July 1st this year. If business continues like it is I will be happy - not rich, but able to continue painting; which, after all, that is what I most want to do.

Well, one has to be very lucky to become in enough vogue to make enough to support oneself or 'do well' selling ones art - so making enough to keep one in supplies is doing pretty well. Some others I know teach art classes here and there to help out. BTW - What's your ebay user name Terry, curious to look up your auctions. Best regards, Barrie

Hi Barrie,

Yeah, I have to agree with you I am lucky in this respect. I put my art on eBay because I wanted to pay off my credit card. It was a very expensive year last year in more ways than one. I thought I'd give it a year and see how things went or didn't as the case might be. The last sale was a small pastel whic went for £55.63. I don't know if you can get to my shope by typing in "chalk42002" but I know if you type in "Terence Kelly" it will take you to some of my work on eBay. Good hunting!

Terry, You bidders are getting tremendous bargains! I think that art is something you have to see for real to get a sense of the beauty, craftmanship, and worth. Exception, of course if your name is already a household word. Best to you, Barrie

Sometimes I have a surprise when the bidding ends high. But this way I get to paint every day again. Thanks for your good wishes and the same to you.
