My 3rd new business..lol

[Jayne]

Hi,

I have started another new biz selling my paintings, i've already been selling them, so I decided to do a website to get some more commissions. I have done the site myself, so there could be one or two cock ups, so i'll say sorry now, just in case :lol:

I did it with a vshosting site builder, it comes with his hosting package and Tony says it's not rubbish like MS Publisher, which is how I tried to do my last site. I think I have driven Tony up the wall :D

I have tried to fix my site, but i'm waiting for Dave to get back from the pub to check it..so please ignore the code bits for now.

If you see any more mistakes please feel free to comment and i'll try and put them right, if not, i'll have to annoy Tony some more :lol:

Thank You

Jayne http://art.bowbiz.co.uk/

[confused]

looks ok apart from all the question marks ;)

I only had a quick look, one thing, on your "about" page, the link to your other site isnt a link.

[Alpha]

Jayne

I'm actually very impressed with your pieces.

You've revealed a talent that has been kept well under wraps.

Wish you well in selling them :D

[Urban Space]

Well done for using 'lol' instead of 'LOL' like some people on here! What's with the caps?! Sounds really sarcastic lol! And gud on ya going for it...again!

Best 'o luck!

Liam

[Jayne]

It was just a pic, i'll try and turn it into a link, good idea, didn't think of that.

Jayne :D

[Jayne]

Thanks Alan and Liam,

I have lots of hidden tallents :lol:

Hi

I saw your site and like your work. It's good to see some arts. And good luck with your 3rd business!

I've just set up a venture called www.freshties.com. The reason for writing is to say why not promote your business on one of our blogs- it is free to join now, and it will be like an advert for you, which you can update at any time. Also, I need to let people know about what freshties does.

My gain is hopefully you may at some point, add some info about being in your profession, as this is of great help to our members, as some information about what it's like in particular jobs/industry sectors.

If you click on http://www.freshties.com/index.php?testimonial=home
you'll see how others are using blogs to help themselves and others.

I'll let others know about your site. Have a good weekend, Ash

[Jayne]

Thanks for the offer Ash and your email with the same offer :lol:

I'm now twice reminded :D

I agree. You're very talented, Jayne.

[Jayne]

Thank You Steve :D

Jayne

[lookahere]

Hi

sorry about that- found the post a reply button after I clicked on the email! Am not the brightest on the web! Cheers Ash

[Jayne]

I was only pulling your leg Ash :lol:

I need telling twice sometimes, doesn't always go on the first time:lol:

Jayne

[mumper]

Yep same here - all the best in selling them Jayne - I'm sure you'll have no trouble doing so.

[Urban Space]

Do you like horses Jayne? :lol:! I always pictured you as a blone rather than a brunette! :lol:!

Liam

[Jayne]

Thank You John, I was very nervous showing my work to you lot :lol:

Jayne

[Jayne]

Do you like horses Jayne? :lol:! I always pictured you as a blone rather than a brunette! :lol:!

Liam

So you found my pic then :lol: And why did you think i'd be blond :evil:

People ask me to paint horses often, I quite enjoy doing them too :D

Jayne

[RedArc]

Hi Jayne,

Another talented artist on ukbf!

Horses and pet portraits are always very popular so I'm sure you will gain lots of commissions.

My partner is currently working on a new collection of landscapes - maybe there should be a forum just for `creatives' on ukbf?? I'm sure there'd be plenty of interest! :idea:

Hope this new venture goes well for you.

Carol

[Jayne]

Thank You Carol,

There are some art forums, but I like it on here best. Plus only one of businesses is arty :D

Jayne

[Coding Monkey]

I'm impressed! Castle and Garden and Public House are very nice. Island Beach is probably my favourite.

[creacom]

Hi Jayne

Wow....really good work !! I am very impressed.

When do you find the time to do it ???

I am hoping to get my website up and running in the spring as I am secret painter myself :wink: and I have been asked to do a commission for a new office building here so I will run some of it by you to test the water.

Keep up the good work Jayne.

Jacqui

[Jayne]

Thank You Tom, buildings are my favorite things to paint, I love all the detail :D

Jayne

[Hayles]

and I have been asked to do a commission for a new office building here
Jacqui

Don't tell Claire!! :lol:

[Urban Space]

Buildings stay still too don't they? lol! Much easier to paint something that doesn't move as opposed to a horse that'll run off with its mates when you come near it! :lol:

Liam

[Jayne]

Jacqui, I paint at my computer in between emails and things. I prop my art board on the keyboard part :lol:

So, you type a bit, work a bit and paint a bit...best of everything :lol:

What sort of work do you do?

Jayne :D

[Dave Teece]

Hi Jayne

Yes I like your buildings - your a good draughtsperson.
Good luck with your work, dont wear youself out with all these businesses.
Take care!

Dave

[Jayne]

Thanks Dave,

I've done a bit of pen and ink draughting and have done Tech drawing, this is why I love buildings :D

Jayne

[creacom]

Well I love architecture so of course my favourite subject is buildings and doors.

The commission that Im doing is for a company in the Highlands who make doors and windows so thats handy !! Nothing big or fancy and the only reason I was chosen is because Im friends with the director of marketing !!!
':wink:'

Jacqui

[Jayne]

It's getting spooky now, both can paint, love buildings and believe in Nessie :lol:

Jayne

[creacom]

Yeah and you used to own a bakery and I.......cant bake !!!

Who would believe it ??!!! You are going to be telling me that you have size 6 feet like me next !!

':lol:'

[Jayne]

6 1/2 :lol:

Jayne

Oh forgot, I still own the bakery, sales not gone through yet, soon I hope :D

[MarkPearson]

Hi Jayne,

I must say I do like your painting.

The best of luck with selling them.

[Jayne]

Thank You Mark, this biz feels like a hobbie though, because I enjoy it that much :D

Jayne

[clairemackaness]

Wow, Jayne. Well done for finally showing off your talent. I love your lilly painting it's so vibrant.

It's nice that we are both so different in our styles. So much so that I think a reciprical link may be in order, what do you think?

Your sites lovely too, simply and effective (What I've been told to do, but ignored LOL).

Good luck with it all.

[Jayne]

Thanks Claire,

I can do abstract and contemporary too, but it's not my cup of tea, I love detail too much :lol:

I haven't got a link swap thing sorted, but i've put William a posh link on, so you have to click on one of his Photo's, I was quite chuffed with that.

I could do it with one of your pics too if you wanted, then you put me a link back :D

Lookahere just a quick note to tell you I've joined Freshties and submitted a blog. I really like your new networking site!

Lawrence

[Jayne]

Thanks Lawrence :D

[DarrenC]

Nice work Jayne ;)

[Jayne]

Thanks Darren,

I'm still busy on Sidney Harbour at the min, it's a very fidley bridge to paint :lol:

Jayne

[IMEX Sourcing Services]

Beautiful Paintings jayne. Really Nice work.

Ash

[Jayne]

Thanks Ash :D

Jayne

[Urban Space]

Anyone seen Junior recently? :?!

Liam

[Jayne]

I've never seen him :lol:

He hasn't PM'd either, anyway, Juniors not on my new biz announcement :lol:

Jayne

[DarrenC]

Thanks Darren,

Jayne

No problem Jayne ;)

Can't wait to see it :D

[clairemackaness]

I'd love a posh link Jayne, Just right click on my banner and save it and then you can upload it to my site.

I'll do your now for you, it will be on my links page at the top in the other artist section.

Claire
xx

[Jayne]

Hi Claire,

I've put you a link on, the banner wouldn't work on my site for some reason? So i've picked a painting and squashed it a little, so they can click on your painting to get to your site. Like I did with Williams.

Jayne :D

[Coding Monkey]

That's nice of you, Jayne. If you wanna help out with the link, you should have a link with the text in as well. Copy the below:

Claire Mackaness - Contemporary Artist (http://clairemackaness.co.uk/)

[Jayne]

Hi Tom,

It's a template site. You have one hole to put the picture in and one hole to put the web address in, that's as far as my techy knowledge will manage :lol:

The link i've done looks nice and works fine, plus it matches my other links.

Jayne :D

[Coding Monkey]

Ah, I see. It was purely because a link is there to help with your search engine ranking, and the text of that link accounts for the majority of what Google/MSN/Yahoo reads. If it's an image, it doesn't have any text and the inbound link doesn't offer the search engines any info on what it's about. Just in case anyone was wondering why I mentioned changing it.

[Jayne]

Got a bit of that :lol:

I've put writing on it too, so google should pick up that. Well that's what I thought.

Jayne :D

[Coding Monkey]

I wouldn't worry about it. It won't be life threatening ;)

[William Wilson]

Thanks Claire,

I can do abstract and contemporary too, but it's not my cup of tea, I love detail too much :lol:

I haven't got a link swap thing sorted, but i've put William a posh link on, so you have to click on one of his Photo's, I was quite chuffed with that.

I could do it with one of your pics too if you wanted, then you put me a link back :D

Jayne

Great job Jayne and thanks for the posh link, the art section of the forum has just grown a little more such tallent.

All the best and if you need any help just email ;)

[Jayne]

Thank You William,

I have been painting for years, but only just started telling people, I didn't have much time because of the bakery. Now I can paint as much as I want when the sale has finished.

Jayne :D
