Run up to Xmas

The work continues to come in. I had a lull and produced the following sketch, framed it and hung it ready for sale. Sold another painting yesterday. Some photos of the shop follow the sketch. I have an order for two replicate oil portraits which I am going to begin today. Using turps and oils on the spot will require a great deal of discipline. Not only to avoid a mess but to achieve a result as quickly as possible.

I have no art ability myself, but have had the opportunity to view extraordinary works in St Petersburg and other European cities, as a tourist. I have also wandered through art galleries and art shops in NZ. Mostly a very slow walk allows me to pass by the works that do not speak to me. Your gallery, a functional modern box with its unedifying afterthought electrical outlets, would draw me in smartly simply because of the artistical way in which you have arranged your artwork. Your artwork itself, such as this piece of the young Maori woman, I find mesmerising. You have captured so much for me to try and understand. No walk-bys here.
