"July Splendor"--I am wondering after the sale of this beautiful painting, if in the process of creating it, does the artists establish a bonding? An emotional bonding?
I sold this painting towards the end of December, spent 3 days finding a packaging and shipping place that I felt I could trust in making sure that the painting arrived at its destination--safely!
I even wrote the buyer of all the environmentally safe places to hang the painting; not in direct sunlight, not near humidity, nor by cooking fumes, and please not where people may smoke! I went on about not allowing people to touch it, especially children: God knows what they have on their tiny fingers!
I worried until the day that I assummed the painting had arrived at the buyers home: She never let me know. But I figured if it hadn't arrived I am sure she would have contacted me. I wish she had let me know that it arrived safelyand that she was so excited about having it in her home. I truly hope she's loving it, the way I did. I had it in a prime spot right over my bed!!
Yes, I do think I became emotionally involved with this painting--How could I not?

I so agree with you on having an emotional attachment to your work and wanting to know it arrived safely especially after putting so much energy and time into shipping it.
ReplyDeleteI sold one of my larger mosaics during Christmas.
Gift-wrapped it for the buyer's sister, enclosed a Christmas card and everything and never heard a word of any kind. Like you, I just pray it got there and that they are enjoying it.
