Still No Sales, but I'm in Another Show

my creepy picture for the art show

Hey all, I've had another piece of art accepted in next month's show. My heart garland was in the February show, and a creepy picture that I drew in ink was accepted for next month's show of surrealist art. I have been in every show since October and haven't sold any pieces, but most of the other artists haven't, either. This economy is very bad, and art is definitely an optional purchase. I will keep submitting my work, anyway, because you never know. Also, it kind of spurs me to create artwork, which is never a bad thing. I did make a sale on eBay of an amethyst necklace I have had listed for a while, so I shipped that out on Tuesday. I was very happy to make that sale! I was thinking about saving the creepy drawing for the October show that has a horror theme, but the painting I was working on for the surrealism show isn't finished yet. I think I could get it finished in time, but he chose to take this creepy picture and said I can submit the painting to another show. I didn't tell him that I drew this picture in high school, lol.

I only have the one piece, but if it sells, that will be very heartening!

You have such an incredible talent. It deserves to sell, but you’re right about the economy. I’m having to make some hard choices, and I know others must be too.

I hope things turn around, but it might get worse before it gets better.

Hopefully you'll sell a drawing soon. It's easy to understand that, with the economy the way it is, people are thinkng twice about buying artwork.
