I spoke to one exceptional artist who sold a small painting for more than £250 – his work was by far best on show in my opinion (I later discovered that he had been selected by the RA for their summer show on a couple of occasions). Another artist sold a couple of large canvases for £200-ish – her work was very striking. There are three reasons why I didn't shift more prints: my relatively poor location; my substandard print display; and lack of pricing strategy. All of these will be addressed next time!PaulBaileyArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225158477399139387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223525036181957527.post-65180686840749154352012-09-12T04:47:33.922-07:002012-09-12T04:47:33.922-07:00So will you be taking more pebbles with you next t...So will you be taking more pebbles with you next time too. :). Good to know that you sold an original. I would have thought prints would have sold better than an original piece, due to price and art not really being a spontaneous purchase as some other craft items at these fairs.Gina aka Zuleikha's artgina rahmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408393634135463371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223525036181957527.post-43731354138041783772012-09-12T00:41:18.434-07:002012-09-12T00:41:18.434-07:00Cheers Hannelore for your kind comments.

The thought has often crossed my mind that if, in a parallel universe, I continued on the watercolour 'little cottage in amongst the hills' path where would I be now? Maybe more successful, as they had an unique selling point, or hook, to entice the viewer/buyer, but, the problem is, my heart wasn't in it anymore.PaulBaileyArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225158477399139387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223525036181957527.post-12236563377294239532012-09-12T00:15:45.519-07:002012-09-12T00:15:45.519-07:00Great news that you and your wife had such a good ...Great news that you and your wife had such a good fair, as they can be rather disappointing. I must be a strange person because I love your earlier work. Not to say I don't like your newer stuff but the water colours were the kind of pieces I would love to own. But it is nice to see them develop. May you have many more succesful ones!<br />Hannelorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167326003686791noreply@blogger.com
