Or rather, my work has!
Last year, I bizarrely decided the world was just dying to own some of my floral oil paintings, which was my bad, as it turned out to be just my mother did!
Ha! I jest, a couple of friends took pity on me too. This was a good lesson to learn – it takes time to grow your art business, and you’ve got to be in it for the long haul.
Since then I almost went insane worked hard to set up a print shop of some of my work.
But given that I can’t not paint, I have a ton of paintings sitting around – so I thought I’d ask my ever saintly husband to learn to become a framer, because how hard could it be?
Weellll….it’s a bit tricky, but I’m so pleased with what he’s done so far! Like these two shown above. Ironically, the bit I hate is painting them, ironically!
And if I can sell a few then great, if not, I’m hanging up in my house!
You two are a very talented pair! Lovely paintings (and frames of course) xx

He apparently does sometimes read this blog on long boring train journeys so it’s a good job I only have nice things to say about him!

I agree, what a husband you have and also what a bang-up job of framing! I have a son-in-law who want to learn how to frame my paintings, we’ll see about that! I understand how you feel about promoting the art, it takes time and patience and can be frustrating. I am at the point of not knowing what to do, where to turn….so in the meantime I paint! Even if my family have to dispose of all my artwork after I die, I won’t be around to see what happens to it all. So, I will paint in the meantime and figure it all out eventually. 🙂

Vicki, your work is simply gorgeous and beautifully framed, even better. You just need to find your audience and your stuff will fly off the shelves. *fly, be free little paintings!* (Seriously, though. Awesome stuff.) ❤
