Limestone House At Barriefield Ontario

I love photos with lots of wires in them!! 'Lots of wires around the streets in Manila... I used to find the tangled mess of wires outside my room in the hotel where I used to live, totally amazing. I could sit there and contemplate them for half an hour whilst smoking a fine cigar - interspersed with a bit of people watching in the street below. (Especially whenever any nice "totty" happened to walk by!) The view from outside my room at Hotel La Corona -

Nice house. I love the balcony. (Ideal for an early morning cup of coffee or sitting and smoking a nice cigar whilst watching the sun go down!) -

Interesting stuff. There's a lot to think about here... I'm not too worried about selling any of my own art. I only do pastel paintings for my own personal fulfillment. I did have a little exhibition once. I could have sold a couple of pieces but withdrew the whole lot from sale when a potential customer tried to haggle over prices that hardly even covered the cost of my materials: smb's Blog > A Disastrous First Exhibition In short, I have never ever sold a single painting - and I don't expect to, either. (Mind you, if I could sell just the one, then at least I could be in the "same boat" as Van Gogh!!) Haha!! Interesting what you said about physical art galleries, though. On and off, over the last few years, I have been slowly building-up a small collection paintings by Filipino artists who's works I like. The intention was to have enough to be able to open a small art gallery when I retire... Well never mind, I can always make it more of a free coffee shop for socialites and other time-wasters! There, is however a lot of scope for improving the online Store here at ArtFreaks.com. (You wouldn't even know there was one here unless you were looking for it. The current set-up is in a stand-alone part of the site and it is not integrated with the Forums...) The new set-up will be fully integrated with the Forums and, hopefully, it will allow all Full Members of the Forums to sell their art here. That's a project for a later date though. Just watch this space!

Hopefully, this should explain things:

Selling can be fun... If you ever actually manage to sell anything!

Awesome!

Thanks for posting the background info. regarding Paco Gorospe and your particular painting!

In my opinion, a painting's only financial value is what you can actually get for it when you sell it. If that painting means so much to you, it could be worth half a million or even a million pesos to you. But actually selling it is another mater. Following-on from that; since - (and I am guessing here) - you would be unlikely to actually want to ever sell the painting - you will never really know its true worth. I have several Paco Gorospe paintings which I would be quite happy to sell for 65,000 to 100,000 pesos but I have never even came close to actually getting a genuine buyer for any of them...
