Excitement!!!

Wow! March is here already and we are busy getting ready for Alexander Millars visit to the gallery on the 4th April 2009.

We have ordered in a selection of work which is now ready for framing. The window banner design is finished and ready for printing and we have also finalised the layout for the invitations. Watch out for yours landing on the doormat soon...

We are hoping in the next week to be offered some original pencil sketches and maybe even an original oil to compliment our selection of Limited Edition Prints.

On Friday I was up in Scotland delivering another original oil by Alexander Millar called 'Over The Moon'. Alex really seems to be flying at the moment!



It will compliment the 'Thats Our Boy' original that I took up in October 2008. When I saw it hanging there on the wall it made me smile.

So mark Saturday 4th April in your diary and we hope that you will be able to come along and chat to Alex about his work! Champagne and nibbles will be served and it should be a cracking day!!

I can now reveal who were the top sellers in February. They were:-

1. Sarah Jane Szikora/Peter Smith
2. John Wilson/Caroline Shotton/Jeff Rowland

Well done Peter and Sarah - joint top!!

As I said, excitement is building so don't miss out on a great day!
We'll see you on 4th April!!

Tired But Happy :-)

Today I feel tired! Why? I hear you ask? Well the answer is that yesterday I spent a total of 11 hours in the car driving up to Glasgow and back!!

The reason for the trip was to deliver an original Alexander Millar oil for a potential customer to view and hopefully buy!!

I was very pleased with myself as I managed to navigate my way through Glasgow and to the gentlemans house without the aid of a Tom Tom (or a Mum Mum!!).

This is the piece in question:-



This fantastic piece now has a superb new home and I hope that Graig, will take great pleasure from it.

So this is why today I am tired but also happy that The Acorn Gallery, in these difficult times, is still trading well and showing that the art market still has wide appeal!

As we keep saying 'Art is the new FTSE' :-)
