HA! I just got my first painting sale! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

And how it came about was ...

The lady contacted me via Facebook after she did some looking up of info. She found info that I posted about "Road of Life" here on DU, but she first heard about it... on a "conservative" web site!

That's right! She got her interest in my work from them bashing me!

I sent her the info for the studio, and was just called by the gallery to tell me it is sold and is getting shipped out tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to me!

It sort of fits their theme. I just love that place, especially because I like the antique looking maps and scale type drawings of cities. This would fit in with someone who likes that type of decor.

Well done, and Happy Birthday!

Love this painting.... great work and so happy you have your first sale.

You are quite talented and I love the subject matter you've been painting.... the colors and the abstract quality of the work is great!

Indeed, a very Happy Birthday!!
