Selling Locally




This past Sunday, my darling husband and I had lunch at a local pizza place - Lupi's - the one on Jenkins. I was thinking about their food when I suggested we eat there, but when I went to our table I was reminded that local artists have their work up on the walls.  So, I inquired about getting MY work up on their walls, and the manager was so nice and the terms are so favorable that I decided to give it a try.


These are the 3 pieces that I have chosen to display: 

Green Honeycreeper 9x9"
Cock of the Rock 5x7"
Long Tailed Grackle 5x7"

 They are prints, not originals - because I wasn't prepared to take that much of a risk at first.  As you can see, I framed them and printed some placards giving the name of the work and the price, along with my name and the qrcode to my portfolio.


Whenever we go to Lupi's, I normally get their caprese salad (which comes with a mini loaf of fresh bread), but seeing as it's still early for tomatoes, I just got their meat lasagna.  It was delicious, but I will return at some point in the summer to get the caprese because it's so good that I actually don't  mind that I'm eating fresh tomatoes. Plus they make their own mozzarella.  And of course their pizzas and calzones are the real deal.   You should try them, if you haven't and live near one.

So we shall see if my work does well in a non-gallery setting.  There are gallery options available, but I'm taking this one step at a time. 

Yesterday I posted a process reel on Instagram and the algorithm made choices for me...
