Goodbye and hello

I am feeling rather smug. Not only did I sell my first painting via Etsy to a stranger a couple of weeks back, but it has now arrived in Alabama and has found a happy new owner (phew, was I worried about my photos and the postal service!). Yesterday I received a phone call from another stranger who wanted to buy one of my framed study plains as a birthday present.

And, now I am officially in profit: the costs of the framing odyssey last summer are finally paid off. So, rather quickly, I welcomed a new necklace to my collection. Goodbye and hello. There you go.

Tight Twist Pendant by Chris Lewis.
Now mine :)

A little PS: I needed (!) to add a picture of the study plains framed. They looks so different that way:

The fields all together

Good on you. Love the new pendant. And I can see why someone would want to gift a study plain - lovely :-)

Congratulations, Gesa - that's great news. I like the study a lot with its rich color and great sense of distance. It will great framed and on someone's wall.

Awesome work, and congratulations!

Cheers, everyone. The studies were all really small, but it was a good exercise in exploring composition and playing with the picture plane. And: they do look great framed :)
