painting: Moon Phases

[helenic]

I had a major productivity downtime on Friday, so rather than getting on with any of my Big Projects, I filled in all the corners of my todo list - answering emails, replying to comments, updating blogs, and doing the painting I mentioned the idea for in this entry. And! It took me about three hours, although I was talking to dennyd for much of that time so I'm not sure exactly how much painting time there was. But still, this is the first time in ages I've started and finished a picture that efficiently. Clearly I should do more of these quirky little simple ideas, finished paintings are good for my heart.

Moon Phases
Oil on Primed Paper, 14 x 6"
(sold)

Click for bigness. This is for sale if anyone is interested - not sure what sort of price, make me an offer? It occurs to me that it might make a rather nice Christmas present for someone's mum, or something.

Most importantly, many many thanks to bluecassandra for unexpectedly providing me with a gift of conkers (authentic Lincolnshire conkers! From Ebay! Wonders never cease) and thereby enabling me to do this before autumn '07. It was really really sweet of you, and if you wanted to buy this, I think I can safely guarantee a discount ;)


If I was doing a print run of 5 or more on 300gsm acid-free watercolour paper, I'd probably be looking to resell them for £25 each. Alternatively, I could reproduce the original in oils on a commission basis for about twice that.

If I'm ordering prints on an individual basis they'll be £32 each, because the postage costs are so much higher (basically, p&p costs about £10 per print run, whether that's one print or a dozen).
