"Dusk and Dawn". I sold it today for 950.00 dollars. Which is rather low for this sort of piece, but I have lowered my prices 30 % due to the recent weird change in the economy. I figure, Art was a necessity to people when i first started selling. Now, it's a luxury. And the first thing to go usually, is luxury expenses. So i thought i'd do my part and get smart and still earn a living. I actually adore the clients and was rather thrilled to give them something they can hold onto. Unlike the money i just made.
a blog to keep up with artist Colleen Hanley in the studio, at home, and on the road.
