Pacific Rain Gallery is the name of my gallery. Most of the time it is referred to as Pacific Rain Studio and the transformation into a gallery is time consuming and a lot of work but it has to be done on occasion if I want to sell some paintings. I don't like to do pre sales but made an exception this year for supporters who keep me in enough green to buy paints, canvas and frames. I think it should be a great show this year. The last show took place right at the peak of the financial crisis and you could tell people were nervous and that kept some potential buyers on the fence. Smaller canvases this year and framed monotypes. You never know if your strategy will pay off but with the current upheavals in the stock market and terrorist threats on the horizon makes me think It was the right choice. Regardless of the outcome of this years show it will be one hell of a party. I'll also take part in the group show in March at the Phinney Ridge Center next year as an experiment. My output is limited and tightly controlled but sometimes it's good to get outside your comfort zone.
