The hard work paid off

[clairemackaness]

Just thought I'd share in my glee, not only is it my birthday, but an interior designer who ordered a commission from me has just been round to collect her painting and left with 7 of my other pieces!!!

Including Luscious (sorry Nic)

Time to update the shop now as I'm selling out fast. Tate Gallery here I come!!

[Jayne]

Well done Claire and you said it was an average Birthday :D

Happy Bday!

Try cutting a cow in half and bunging it in some perspex, apparently that's art :?! And that 'Shed Boat Shed'...:?!

Many happy returns

Congratulations Claire.

Looks like you are going to be busy painting over the next few weeks !!!

That's fantastic news Claire!

And, Happy Birthday! :D

Maybe it's time to increase the prices of your originals and start selling limited edition prints from the originals. There is certainly plenty of scope.

Funny you should say that carol, until I sold the actual paintings I was offering prints!

I'm going to get one or two pictures done over the next few weeks and make sure I scan them before selling them. Once I get my merchandise sorted as well I will have a shop for Claire Mackaness Products as well as the art work.

Well done Claire....at least someone's had a good day! :roll:

Hope I have a double whammy on my Birthday (17th)

That's absolutely fantastic Claire. Good for you! Keep up the good work - and a lesson to us all, keep believing in yourself.

Can I use you as my claim to fame from now on? "Once, I nearly bought a canvas for Claire Mackaness to paint on..."

[NicolaCassidy]

Congratulations Claire and happy birthday!!

[fastfences]

That's brill,Claire. I might give up the fencing and take to the brushes :wink:
Cheers, Nigel

[clairemackaness]

Alternativly you could take the brushes to the fencing! A Claire Mackaness in your very own garden!

[fastfences]

Ironic you mention that. I've just painted 11 litres of Forest Green on a job over the last couple of days.

Must admit it appeaed very similar to 'strungout.' I nearly signed and dated each panel 8)
Cheers, Nigel

[clairemackaness]

LOL, Just squirt some blue cern relief all over it and it really would be strung out!

[UK2004]

I'm new here, Claire, are you the lady in your avatar pic?

[UK2004]

Congratualtions, Claire - you must be feeling elated!

Go for it!

[SillyJokes]

Have you found your niche? I hope the designer comes back for more.

Selling a quantity to one person who picks them up - that must be as good as it gets.

[Real World Hypnotherapy]

Claire, how did your meeting with sales person go?

Matt

[clairemackaness]

The sales person cancelled her appointment by e-mail which I didn't get until after I'd sat in for half a day waiting for her!
