Another One Flies the Coop

"Hummingbird & Orchid" Mixed Media Collage - 6x12
I love it when I sell a painting; what artist doesn't? I find it particularly interesting that this piece was exhibited for a long time in a gallery, but didn't sell until after the gallery closed and the client found it hanging on my home studio wall. Last year at this time, with representation in three galleries, I'd only sold one painting for the year. This year, with no representation, I've sold the same number. (And my profit margin is greater!) I'll be interested in seeing what the rest of the year brings.

Anyway, the image above was inspired by the works of Martin Johnson Heade. It's definitely my own interpretation, but you can see how his moodiness affected me.
