Hi Amanda, sorry to hear that it didn't have quite the same atmosphere but the art does look fabulous. Is much selling in Brisbane because I don't seem to have any luck at all this year.Kay
ReplyDeleteHey Kay...yeh, the past couple of months have been pretty quiet for sales for me too. They (the economics people)keep on putting interest rates up, and they say the economy is getting better, but what I'm hearing....people just don't have the money...they just don't want to spend, which I can understand fully, I'm the same.
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda. Great photos. sorry it didn't have the usual zing for you.
ReplyDeleteI feel art sales would be really down with the world economy the way it has been and still is.
We are all suffering..no money to spare.
As long as we are creating and enjoying our art.
