600 sold on Artfinder!

600 sold on Artfinder!

I can hardly believe it myself!

On Tuesday I sold my 600th painting via the online gallery www.artfinder.com. My sales total had been stuck on 599 what seemed like an unbelievably long time - it was a week in fact. Artfinder has been a massive part in being able to make that leap and become a full-time artist. Being self-employed is full of ups and downs, it's very much "feast or famine" so to look back and see 600 sales over 5 years is quite amazing. Long may it continue. I was going to end this by quoting Samuel Butler, Victorian novelist and satirist who said; "Any fool can paint a picture but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it", but I want to rephrase that with "Any fool can paint a picture but it take a genius to sell it."
