Today was the day when I went along to the Gallery "for the first time" to meet people, and talk about the paintings and the inspirations behind them.
Jack and the girls from the paintings, (Lily and Grace), were there, so the three hours flew by, I shook lots of hands and signed lots of brochures, most of my family and friends turned up as well which was brilliant, "thanks" to them.
Jack was asked by a few people to sign his name along with mine and at first he refused, as he did when asked to have his photo taken, after a hour or so there was no stopping him, he had apparently "quietly" asked his mam if it was ok to write on dads pictures thinking (of course) that he would get into trouble for this as he would at home! anyway once he started, that was it, he was sitting signing one after the other and loving the attention, we think we will limit this sort of exposure as we are not to sure how it may affect him, if at all!, we will think about it, after all dad doesn't want his nose pushed out just yet!!.
The Gallery sold all of the "Jack The Lad" paintings on display as did the others, people just loved them, which is what its all about, Cheers to Anthony, Rachael, Beth and Sarah at the Gallery for their hard work. It was a lovely day.
Glad you had such an enjoyable and profitable evening Keith. Look forward to the bumblebee on a string.

ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went to Chester for our anniversary this weekend and went into Castle Galleries. We fell in love with Jack the Lad. We bought a print of "Bzzz" and I can't wait to receive it. I love the innocence and enquiring mind you have captured in a little boy and it brought back cherished memories of my boys, now 23 and 21 - but at the same time my grandson now or any little boy. It's fabulous,makes me feel a warm happiness and I can't wait to see it everyday! Thank you.

We went into Castle Galleries in Milton Keynes today and saw your works for the first time. I love the jack the lad pictures as they remind me of my son.
ReplyDeleteI was so sad to find out that all of the oil originals have sold out.
Can't wait for you to produce more and hopefully this time we will be near the front of the queue.
