Jeanette...I will probably make a series of prints from the originasl which will be framed and appear at my exhibitions.I very rarely sell my originals as they take so long to complete, the cost I expect to recoup is higher than most are willing to pay..( you should see some people's faces when I quote a price!)This one for example would calculate at around £1380. A skilled wage is around £20 per hour, and this took me 69 hours to complete!I do realise that art is not measured by an hourly rate , but I have to use some guage. I therefore tend to sell my originals at much lower than i think they're worth.I'd love to write more here about how I manage my business, but i'l save it for a blog post as it would take up too much room here!Thank you both for your continued support and encouragement..it means a whole lot more than you'll know!

It's lovely Niall, it looks very retro and her face has such a beautiful light.
I love the softness in this piece.
So what happens to her when she's complete? What happens to all your work in fact? Gallery fodder? Original sales? Reproductions? Do tell.
DM..Yes, I suppose it is retro..good thing I say!
