things have changed a fair bit over the past few months and I'm not really sure why... my luck has changed a bit and for the first time for a long time i am feeling positive and confident about my painting.  It started with my SALA exhibition and has sort of taken off from there... I have had the confidence to make approaches (such as to Signature on Hastings in Noosa and Two Pairs in Adelaide) and those approaches have been met enthusiastically.  I now have prints selling in both these beautiful spaces.  I have also been approached to have paintings in This Fine Day in Adelaide and at No. 58 at Port Elliot.  As well as that, I have paintings in CoolArt Gallery in Coolum, the Middleton Beach Huts and prints in Coast by Design at Port Elliot.  Things are selling well and I am getting great comments from people on Facebook and in person.  Confidence is such a huge thing, especially in painting.  I still get overwhelmed with anxiety when delivering a commission, but I am getting the work and my work is being well received.  I am feeling like a very lucky man.  I am doing what I love and it is fiitting in with my family life which is so important to me.  I am loving life!
