Some of you may know that I entered Minette's portrait in an art gallery across the street from my house. Ok, TECHNINALLY, its down one block, over one black, but close enough that I can walk to it without breaking a sweat in 99 degree weather! ;) :D

Anyhow, tonight is the gallery opening. I went for two minutes, primarily to see WHERE my artwork was located. I have been praying all week that they did not position it in the office or powder room (yes, they actually put artwork for sale in the powder room! :eek: ) I went in hoping and praying it would be in the main gallery.... never did I expect it to be where it was.....


are you ready?

I almost fell over..........


Its located........


BY THE ENTRANCE!!! As you enter the gallery, you look straight ahead, and there she is!!!!! Woohoo! Happy dance!

Does this mean that they feel its one of their best pieces? They wouldn't place something truly bad as you enter. OMG.... what if I SELL it!? I'm so happy and excited I'm ready to burst!

Those eyes, those eyes
That mesmerize
Bewitch all who enter
With heartfelt welcome
And inspire passersby
To inquire inside

Of course they put it by the door!

This is so wonderful for you. Any chance of us seeing a picture
of the artwork? I'd love to see it.Is it a drawing or a painting?

Congrats again.:) I love art even though I have zero artistic
talent.:)

WOW! What an honor. (in the powder room.....tee hee)

Since you chose MY name suggestion AND my price suggestion, do I get a percentage of the take????? ;)

That is AWESOME!!!!

I'd buy it for $195 :D It is an awesome bit of artwork. The eyes are the best, although I really do love the detail work you did on the fur too.

It sounds like the gallery has a good eye for talent. I've noticed that some places will focus more on the artists who donate to them the most rather than the artists who have the most talent. :p

That's great that it's in the best spot in the gallery, where everyone who enters will see it!:)
I'm sure someone will want to buy it and you may even get some requests to do other drawings too.

That is one awesome work of art!! :eek: :D So glad you got a good spot to show it and I would be so very surprised if no-one snaps it up very quickly. In my opinion, at that price it is a steal!

Boy, if I thought I was excited before....

Mom and I walked over to the gallery today. The lady said she's had A LOT of interest. More so than any other piece! (insert MAJOR hapy dance here)

PLUS, the picture I did of Angel was up front of the bins where the artwork that is just matted and wrapped in plastic. That means that somebody was looking at her and was interested. (insert another major happy dance here)

Now I'm REALLY thinking it's going to sell!!!! Of course, now that I'm so excited, I'd be devastated if it doesn't sell!)
