It's been seven years ...

Dapplegrey art is seven years old tomorrow.
Seven years since I decided to stop dreaming about being a professional artist and finally put my rear in gear to make it happen.  7th February 2007 was the date of the invoice for my very first job as Dapplegrey art.

It's been a wonderful rollercoaster since then:

79 commissions
32 originals sold on the stall
57 shows
000's of hours
2 aching feet
Infinite satisfaction

It just works out perfectly that the picture I'll be delivering tomorrow is also the biggest and most challenging one I've done for a long time - a multitude of mutts!



Thank you all for being on the journey with me x

Congratulations!!! It is very rare when we have an opportunity to actually work in the field that we love and where our passion is. So many of us go to jobs where we hate where we are, or what we do, and are only doing that because we can't find anything in the field we want to be in. So, good for you for making that jump. How very exciting for you. And I love the puppies. Awesome job.

Thank you. I wish I could earn enough out of it to give up my day job, but can't justify that step yet. Even so, I can't complain - it pays for me to go to JIB :)
