Wilmington Rooftops-SOLD

This was done from the same exact spot that i did Front St. Watering Hole from (post from a few days ago-below)
nothing like setting up once and getting a few sweet little paintings without having to tear down and move.
Here's a tip too. Most parking decks are free on the weekends and in wilmington the parking meters and parking decks are free on sundays. its murder doing urban locations during the week. now i wait until the weekends when there's less street traffic so i dont have to hike a long way from my parked truck and parking's free.
At the prices i sell these paintings for, every dollar i save is huge!

An Old Workhorse- 5x7
SOLD

I love these Mike. I really am drawn to the one of the truck. I know what you mean about saving bucks as an artist. We let so many go for so little to get 'em out there so our prices eventuiallly rise. Where else can you get something that you can hand down to your kids for $50? Your small ones are a steal at that price!

Both of these are great. Good observations, here, about the 'biz'.
