The Chrysalis Gallery is a luxurious gallery in the wealthy stretch of Southampton, NY. I made contact with the gallery through an artist-friend who exhibits there. I initially sent them a trial painting which sold in less than a week, "that never happens" they said! So, they want more paintings...
I decided to paint some dolphins as I am on my ocean kick at the moment.
The final painting, Dolphin Magic 30x40 Oil on canvas
Dolphin Magic, original study 8x10 Oil on canvas. Sold.
The painting had dried and I was ready to take it in to the gallery. When I approached the entrance I was warmly greeted by a security guard. The owner and the guard were both very impressed by my work and talent. I am now exhibiting with 19 other world famous artists!
I attended a reception at the gallery and paparazzi were there following the celebrities and artists... It was quite the experience! Also that same night all the paintings I had been working on since my arrival to NY were put in a fine art auction. I received a notification that all 3 of my paintings had sold and one of them went for 127% over its original price. It was a very good night and all my hard work paid off!
These are the paintings that I had been working on in August that sold in the auction:
Garden Flower 8x10 Oil on canvas. Sold.
Old Boat 9x12 Oil on canvas. Sold.
Kimogenor Point 11x14 Oil on canvas. Sold.
