I painted this canola field last summer right after I took the photo and then posted it soon after it was painted. It was very well received which was exciting, in fact, it sold immediately and I marked it as such. Except I made a rookie error: I marked it as such before any payment was received and told others inquiring about it that it was sold. Guess what happened? It fell through.

And so I learned a valuable lesson when you are operating on the business side of art business: it isn't sold until it is, well, sold. Or so they say in show biz, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings".

Going forward, all my work is available or on hold until transactions are complete. I am very glad I learned this lesson on a $100.00 piece rather than a $2000.00 piece.

So here it is again... a bright little piece for a chilly winter's day.. and available.

Finally! I got some painting done!

It was a lovely day at the lake yesterday, but not overwhelmingly hot. In the shade on the deck while painting, I had four layers on! But I tend to run a little on the cool side. My son thought I was crazy bananas, but what are you gonna do?

Anyway, it was wonderful to get this canola field out of my head and onto a board. I am still swooning from all the yellow I saw on the drive north. More to come!

I love painting!
