"Are you and artist?"
"Yes"
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, I have a card and you can check my website" (prepared - the website is THE best thing I have done for my art practice)
"Oh, is this your work?" (prepared - little cards from Moo showing my work)
"Yes" (prepared - pulled out my ipad and went to my website)
"Oh, I love these! (the moo cards) Here let me look at your website (with my ipad) while you look around. (She cruises the site) I would love to see some work."
So the story ends with my work in her very savvy boutique. Obviously, as we all know, this is not the huge hit, but a nice large step on the way and again reinforces that constantly showing up (in this case being prepared) pays off. I wasn't looking for this opportunity but I was prepared when I bumped into it. Very nice. The photo below is a painting I finished a while back.

really wonderful work.
this painting is so strong and misterious.
Your art are magnificent.
LOVE this painting..... makes me think of witches creeping around. Great concept, design and technique.
Bravo for you! Were you a Brownie when you were a little girl? Lovely weekend to you.
Work in a new venue. It's gotta be a good thing!! Well done!
Congrats Jeane on your new venue - here's to great sales - but also lots of exposure for your work on an aesthetic level it deserves it! Well done.
Great story about seizing the moment! And that's all we really can do, isn't it? Creating the art and placing it and then the rest happens independently of us. Sounds like a great match! Best of luck with the new venue. I bet your stuff will look great hanging there. Take a few pix for us!
And of course this piece is fabulous.
Yes, I agree this is a great piece and it would be fun to see your work at this new place...congratulations!
Congratulations.
That's a wonderful anecdote showing that it's the combo of opportunity and preparedness that allow things to happen.
And I love the painting. Enigmatic. Wonderful.
You lucky dog! (Hope this is the right word for what i mean - dog sounds weird)
I'm very pleased for you. Now you have another new job and we get to see great new work from you again. Looking forward to photos from the boutique.
happy weekend.
good morning Caio, thank you so much, so nice to see you here :)
thank you Art, so glad you came by :)
Hi Jo, thank you - I like your interpretation of the piece :)
thank you Carole, and yes, I was a brownie, Ha! who knew! :)
a good thing, yes!, thanks Annie xo
thank you Wyn, and yes, a sale would be wonderful!, thank you :)
thank you Zendot, yes - when you least expect it! thank you xo
hello Mary Ann, thank you! will snap a few pics, xo
hi Lynn, yes, and I'm so bad at being prepared because I love being in the moment, but that doesn't always pay off either :)
I use that saying alot Petras and not weird at all, thank you xo
Yeh for you Jeane.....I believe that our own enthusiasm rubs off. You have fabulous energy, create wonderful art and have a marvelous warm personality .....how could they not want to share you with the world?? Remember every person knows and talks to seven people....the more we expose ourselves and our art to, the more we and the world benefit.....YOU GO GIRL....get that luscious art to that store NOW.......
Well done on the preparation. That seems to be my personal theme for the day. How to keep on track, focus, and not rush into things. Sometimes, it works, sometimes.....no. I do have business cards in my handbag but, now I wish I had an Ipad. That is a stroke of genius! And you are so right about the website. They are the best things any of us could have done! Happy weekend.
What a nice story with a happy ending. And all because you made the gesture. The rest took its course. A lesson for us all. Kudos.
well good morning Karin and welcome home! thank you so much and I love the idea of the ripple affect you describe! what a wonderful concept xo
hello Mary, yes, the website!the work is so worth it! the ipad has inadvertently become a fabulous tool for me and has paid for itself in ways I didn't expect! :)
Hi robin - I love a happy ending too! and yes, the gesture - so hard for me, but again, it has paid off more times then not - and of course there are the NOTS! lots of them! oodles and oodles of them, but pretty soon a yes will bounce our way, so nice :)
Great affirmation of what Twyla Tharp says in 'The Creative Habit' about 'luck' and being prepared! Your work is amazing. Glad you got another venue! -sus
hello Susan, that's good to hear - Twyla Tharp, will have to look her up, thank you so much :)
j'aime beaucoup cette toile.. elle est magnifique!!
good morning Linda, thank you, I'm so glad you like it :)
ohhhhhhhhhhh love this piece!
