Hope you don't skip too many beats, though:-)<BR/><BR/>Funny about how many of our spouses can predict what will sell, whether by saying the piece is great or bad.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Lauren, for the link. Nice work! I love the simplicity and elegance of your paintings. Looks like you have a lot going on too. I look forward to reading and seeing more.Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1151479743639406452006-06-28T03:29:00.000-04:002006-06-28T03:29:00.000-04:00Tracey, yes I have a website www.laurenperkins.com...Tracey, yes I have a website www.laurenperkins.com.au and I've just been inspired to start a blog too (thanks to your wonderful blog) you can see it here http://laurenperkins.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1151462358691832832006-06-27T22:39:00.000-04:002006-06-27T22:39:00.000-04:00Great topic My husband is also wrong most times i...Great topic <BR/>My husband is also wrong most times if he doesn't like it it will sell funny about that<BR/>he's great about babysitting while i work without that i wouldn't be able to paint at all<BR/>tracy your painting is very moving,my heart skipped a beat <BR/>It's quite profoundamberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326093692033355487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1151437902628048862006-06-27T15:51:00.000-04:002006-06-27T15:51:00.000-04:00Tracy, no, my wife dislikes the business end so I ...Tracy, no, my wife dislikes the business end so I do it all.

Although i have attended more than enough god-awful, painfully boring and torturous xmas parties. I think Doug owes me 100 art openings per each xmas party I endured.

I may ask his advice once in awhile but I handle it all myself.<BR/><BR/>Ed, Does your wife handle any of the business for you? Talk to galleries etc? Nice to have a prognosticator on hand!<BR/><BR/>Hi Lauren, Clearly we all put our husbands to work, simply using them for their strength, with the added bonus of full emotional support as well:-) Good for us I'd say!

It almost seems a little unfair. My partner, Mike, doesn't ask me to go to dozens of events "after work hours", and yet I ask that of him.

I have a tendency to get cranky when he critiques my paintings, but I usually see the light a day later and end up fixing whatever was causing the problem. He's my biggest fan, so I give him some leeway when he says something not so nice about a painting every once in a while.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, he's got an MBA and works in sales, so you'd think he'd be the perfect person to help out with the business side of my art. I just feel more comfortable doing it myself.

I get a bit upset sometimes about a critique from Doug, but usually it's because I am feeling lazy and am trying to convince myself that I don't have to go back into it. If I let go of that, I can see that he was right in his comments and then I go back into it anyway.<BR/><BR/>Good story Jeff. Boy if I was ever so rude as to so abruptly walk away from someone like that, I would feel awful about it forever! How odd that she wouldn't have just laughed about it and kept going with the conversation.Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1151327887887006692006-06-26T09:18:00.000-04:002006-06-26T09:18:00.000-04:00One of my partner Sean's favorite stories about an...One of my partner Sean's favorite stories about an opening was the time I had ducked out for a minute and he was having a very engaged conversation about one of my paintings with a guest. When the guest finally asked if Sean was the artist, and he said no, the guest abruptly turned on her heels and marched right out the door. We have laughed about that often; it's a great thing he doesn't have an ego.<BR/><BR/>I really like the composition of this piece.Jeffrey Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592087972176625764noreply@blogger.com
