Grand Totals Don't Equal Talent (maybe)
OK...how to say this without sounding too dark...
I'm going to take all the paintings left from the show and set fire to them out back.
No....
The fire department in the next county will see the smoke and be on me like ants on a jar of sugar.
However, that's because I sold only five paintings. Out of 30 all told (I found two more to fill a space on the wall)... Of the five that sold, one was a $100 and that made me happy. The brick cabin. However, towards the end of the night, a young fellow came by and held out a twenty dollar bill and said he wanted a painting, which could he get...I told him any on the wall would be OK.
Total sales were $210.
I always give a 10% top to the charity, so, $189.
Also, after going to Carmel, picking up ten more small paintings, taking them downtown and hanging them, coming back home and getting a couple more paintings to fill the top of the wall...
Making my total trips equal two and a half tanks of gas (@ $50 each) And not counting another half a tank to go pick them up and bring them home, drop off the other two gals' paintings (they sold nothing) I figure my end profit to be around...enough for a bean burrito from taco bell and a cherry turnover from arby's.
Lunch, anyone? I'm not buying...but, the company would be nice.
