PLANS FOR 2025

Well its a third of the way through January 2025 so its a good idea to start planning for the new year and also set out the steps for the new 2-3 years when I hope to transition from my current full time career into full time artist. Well that’s the plan anyway :-).

So this year the only event I plan to take part in is the Emsworth Arts Trail held on April 26/27 and May 3/4/5. So as per usual I have to crack on a get some paintings finished and also start a new ‘This Britain number 11’. I had planned to stop working on the landscapes but I find that having a rented space at Bosham Walk craft centre that it might be a good idea to have an art print based on Bosham harbour. At the moment this rented space is costing me more that I am making in any sales, and in general sales are not great (so feel free to pop along and buy a print). So whilst I am still working and I can afford the rented space I will treat it as a marketing outlet.

Visit Bosham Walk in Bosham West Sussex and pop up stair to find me

So one of the plans for 2024 is to set up an online shop to sell prints, which is why I bought (invested) myself new printer that can produce Giclee quality prints :-). Also I now have a business account which is something I have been considering for a while. Currently each year, any sales I have made hasn’t covered even the basic outlay and truly zero profit, in fact very much in the negative as I spent so much more that I make in the prints sale from the Emsworth Arts Trail or the Bosham Walk. But it’s not about making any money - well not at the moment.

Also, I have sent my vibrating painting below to get framed and I will pop it up for sale during the art trail.

Its October already….
