Waiting patiently

Title-Waiting Patiently
Medium-Oil on Masonite Board
Size 6x6 Inches


I cant believe that I haven't posted anything yet for this month.However just because I haven't  posted anything does not mean I have not been painting.I have just completed a commissioned portrait painting of a police officer.Never thought I would paint such a subject but he called me up and, after I met him I did not feel like turning him down,since he wanted to give the painting to another officer as a gift.Today when I went to pick up the outstanding amount he said that someone had seen the portrait and now also desired one . Although he even had a good photo to work from I had to turn him down and explain to him that I have already committed myself to an three man Exhibit in May,and that I just didn't have the time.So like the subject of my latest painting ,he will just have to patiently wait until after May.

This month has been a good one with regards to sales.I received news from the Thapong Visual art center that they had sold all three of my paintings Donkey Cart,Water in a pink bucket,and Late for School.all three had been part of the Thapong 2012 Awards Exhibition last year.Not only had they all sold, but they also decided that the amounts that I was asking for was to low, and so they increased the prices to my benefit.

This month I also sold An uncertain encounter which I painted a year ago ,which proves that some artwork like wine has to mature first.

Un très joli travail que celui de cet âne. Je rentre du Sénégal et j'y ai admiré de très beaux spécimens...

I've been waiting for a new painting. I like this little guy and would also be interested in seeing your portrait, will you be posting it? Congratulations on the sales and shows, you have a lot going on. I forget, are you a full time artist or do you have another job?

The Exhibit will start in Maun on the 7th of May,and then move to Thapong Visual art center in Gaborone sometime in July,but I should have that date confirmed soon.
Congratulations, Roger....well deserved.

Congrats on your sell. It's nice to have a painting sell always gives you a boost to paint more. I like "Thabo and the donkeys painting." You have some awesome scenery and subject matter to explore, keep it up!!
