Letting it get to my head...

[velellavelella]

A painting I've had in a gallery (Viewpoints in Makawao) for just three days sold for 750.00! I know, in the scheme of things this is chump change, and I just get a cut of it, but boy does it feel good. I'll try not to let it get to my head, but I really feel like I'm on a roll.

Hip hip hooray! (uhoh, I think we're getting almost nepotistic)

I like your lj icon a lot - well, I like both of em. Good job on pickin em out. I'm so glad I bought you that fish pillow. You seem to get good use out of it

S. is sleeping with it at this very moment....

That's freakin sweet. Go chump change!

[velellavelella]

Yes, chump change rocks! But it quickly turns itself into art supplies, and then I am back to broke. Sigh....

No more brokey!

[resipisco]

For increasingly upward spiral goodness: decrease supplies purchased, increase # of paintings, increase prices, or all three. :)

I just got more work up in another gallery - Kaukini in west Maui. I take tourists there all the time, so my work will be happily consigned there. ;)

LADY!! You rockstar!
let it go to your head, if for no other reason, it might soften the inevitable of the first bad review...;)
(I am still reeling myself;)
Congrats!!!!

Ha! I'm not aware that we even HAVE critics on Maui. You say something bad about someones work, and the next thing you know, their aunty is out to kick your butt! (It's a small island) Thanks for the support and the sweet post.

Good for you!
Now buy yourself something sweet! You deserve it:)

I will use it on my beautiful little car's payment...sigh...well, at least having my car here beats the van's gas mileage... Someday, I may even have a saving account again. Cool.

Thanks! You've been so sweet.

Oh! Marvelous. Maybe you can get it all in cash next time.
