new year, new prices...



Having injured my wrist last week, I'm pulling out of the 30 in 30 painting challenge. I need time to heal without overuse of my right arm. so no painting or knitting for me... feeling rather limited on creativity, but all is not lost, as I'm reading some good art books.
 
Also, I've wanted to tackle updating my website for months, so I've been able to do that. I finally got around to deleting a huge amount of old work that was sold.   With the new year it was also time to revisit pricing on my works.  I haven't updated my pricing list in several years, and I was quite aware that it was not in line with other comparable work.  I have my reasons why I have kept my pricing relatively low, it's worked well for me.   BUT I have now made changes that I feel is right.  I price my work by united inches(height plus width) rather than by square inches.   Works over 24 united inches I show in galleries.  Works under 24 united inches I wont be showing in galleries anymore...that is because I consider them sketches.
I was in Ottawa on Friday and saw the Monet exhibition at the National Gallery.  I also spent a great deal of time in the European and American galleries, which I haven't visited much in the past, and I thoroughly enjoyed the visit.  Such inspiration!

  1. So sorry to hear about your wrist Sally. I hope it gets better very soon. You are very wise not to overuse it as that would make it take extra long to heal. How wonderful to see the Monet exhibition!

    1. hello Wendy! I've been longingly looking at your gorgeous photos with all that sunshine and heat, it's nice to know that somewhere someone is enjoying these things! thanks for your comisserations re my wrist, I'm hoping it will heal soon. It's a 'Repetitive Strain Injury' so I need to swear off doing what I always do for a while! ha! I am putting my 'lefty' to good use meanwhile.

    1. Thanks Jane! The Monet exhibition was interesting, mostly focusing on his bridge paintings, and how he used them as a motif while exploring light effects etc.
