SALLY MARTIN'S AFFORDABLE ART AFFAIR
Day 8
As a challenge to paint more successfully on a smaller scale, earlier this year I undertook a project to create 100 paintings in 100 days. The process was a revelation and I now realize I miss the daily deadline, it seems to really intensify and focus my creative drive! Another benefit is that is allows me to experiment with new media, dip in to other subject matter and create small artworks that I can offer at very affordable prices.
So, here I go again .......
Day 8
£95
8x6inch
oil on canvas board
The actual process of painting is just one part, sometimes quite a small part, of my daily work life. It always surprises me the amount of peripheral goings on, trips to the framers, ordering supplies, keeping up with the paperwork, website,plus I self publish prints and cards.
Today has been very divided, the painting has gone well and the admin has been a challenge with some glitches on my website causing stress!! I must admit I have very high standards when I am dealing with other online stores and when i make mistakes with my own I HATE it. I had some paintings marked as available when they were in fact sold and it upsets me to disappoint people who have set their heart on a certain piece. It doesn't happen often, I intend for it never to happen again!!
At the easel things were great, the above painting came to a pleasing conclusion, I was pleased with a few more 'starts' (that's what I call the underpainting stage). Then before I left I did 6 speedy sketches, really going for loose lines and fluidity and feel i got some exciting stuff.
So, here i am finishing the days admin, re checking my galleries for correct sales status!!
Onwards and upwards!!!
About my Affordable Art Artworks
My subject matter will be mainly equestrian, with some figurative, still life and landscape included.
Sizes will vary, I will post full details with each image.

Conditions of purchase from The Affordable Art Gallery
Please understand colours may vary slightly between the actual painting and the image on your screen
due to my digital camera's results and your monitor.
Box canvases can be displayed framed or unframed. Canvas panels will need framing , in paintings where I have worked right up to the edge of the canvas I recommend 'float' framing so the edges remain uncovered by the frame. Works on paper will require mounting, glazing and framing, the image size is the mount board aperture size I suggest for the image.
Works are sold on a first come first served basis, as I am not always able to immediately update the sales status occasionally paintings become twice sold, in which case I will immediately refund the payment. I make every effort to avoid such occasions.
Money Back
If the painting is returned within 30 days of the buyer receiving it, Sally Martin will return money paid minus fees (PayPal /Credit card) and shipping.
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
