I arrived at your blog Via the art Journal,via the ZAPP newsletter. I am an artist living in Denver and planning a move to Loveland in the near future.

I have noticed the lack of art sales for the past two years. I have had two galleries close. I have a big gallery in Japan that has bought my work for the past 15 years. Now no sales for the past year. I still have three galleries that show my work but no sales for the past year. A year ago, I was fortunate to recieve a big commission of twelve very large paintings, some as large as ten feet wide. The images are Colorado landscape with wildlife. I have nearly completed seven of the twelve. This will be my income for the next year.

This work has taken me out of the gallery loop. I have not spent much time on my website, which does not work well anyway.

I did have some activity which turned out to be a scam from Indonesia. This cost me $700 of my hard earned dollars.

I am a painter, but now I am working on sculpting. I think I could be good at it with some training. That is one of the reasons I am moving to Loveland.

I really look forward to learning from your blog about how to market my work online. My husband will be doing the actual work on the site, if that is called for. I am 66 years old and my husband is 72 years old. However, we are both continuing to learn. We have to or we won’t survive.

We are dependant on my income and social security and my large vegtable garden. We have not gone to shows as my work is too costly to sell at shows now. We could do that also. I do have giclee prints of my work . Prints are not selling now either.

I will stay tuned to your blog.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
