Fellow Creators,
I started varnishing paintings for my customers several years ago. It does kept me in the for front with my customers. It allows me the opportunity to update them about my art in "First Person."
Here is what I do:
Once commission art work is completed I ask for their contract. At the bottom of contract I write a varnishing date. Also, I verbally tell them I will varnish the painting on that date. A clear envelope or zipper-lock bag I provided and the contract is placed inside; with several business cards. I ask them to attach the bag to the back of artwork for safe keeping once framed. Also I keep a copy of their contract in a "to be varnished" file. Six months later I follow-up.

Varnishing for protection and customer follow-up, a must for me. Your article encourages me to do the same for customers who buy from our gallery. Thanks Clint!

Artfully,
Judy Korge

It's nice that you have started a journal and allow others out here in the world to comment on it. I am filled with pride as I see your work and how far you have come with it. It gives me further pride to have met you in person and found you to be the humorous, witty person that you are. And that is coupled with kindness and genuine warmth. I hope we may see your work in person sometime. Until then, we have the opportunity to see it here. Thank you,

Judy,
I was up doing research for school and had the occasion to look at your site. We have known each other for many months and I feel like I know you a little better after having seen your passion. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art with me on the web. You are so gifted and loved by God! May he bless you everyday! Know that me and my family care for and believe in you very much! Hope to see you soon! Keep smiling!
