I was about to just post that the opening reception went well, lots of people showed up, the food was good, and everything looked good. Then I read the goal above and noticed that I also listed “and sell work AT THE OPENING”. This is because up till this very moment, I had YET to sell a single painting/original drawing at an opening reception. I’m very happy to say that I met that goal. :) I sold two pieces at the opening and one book. Good stuff… hopefully more pieces will follow suit in the days and weeks to come.
