Is DD’s art work good enough to sell.

[themotherhoodproject]

NC for this as a regular user of MN and this is fairly outing but looking for peoples unbiased opinions.

DD is an A level Art student, it’s actually not where her love lies she is hoping to apply for BIMM’s university In Bristol to peruse music and she also does performing arts.

However she is very talented in her painting and blows me away weekly with her work, we have had a few extra special things from her (some of you might remember the snowman Christmas card, it seemed very popular) and lots of people on here saying that they would buy if able too.

Another few months have gone by and we just had another cracker of a card from her (a thank you card for a friend) and well I just think it’s wonderful and have said she should really think about taking on commissions.

We live in a very rural area so lots of horse and dog lovers and I honestly think she could make a bit of pocket money to put away for uni life or fritter away on gigs noodles and vinyl

Can I ask what people think, she is only a year into A level art and will have lots more of technique to learn but maybe £15 a painting she might have some takers?

I seriously don’t understand the intrigue, if you are on social media, what’s the suspicion about?

Oh… support limited to posts

ok. Would have thought you might have offered to buy one

7 teens commissioning? Now that takes the intrigue to another level!

In a horse owning area? Nah don't agree.
But then I don't find 7 commissions a shock/intrigue anyway🤷‍♀️

Oh… support limited to posts

Totally

7 commissions within a few hours isn’t surprising to you? wow you must be uber successful in this field. Respect ✊

just bewildering the level of proof needed.

level of proof? 😆

i asked how she got the 7 orders. That was my question.

What snap chat ?

Don't have it. But kids do.

Yes, proof, again why do you care, I’m out of here have a teenager to help sell things, he manages to sell things online - imagine 😱

not caring as so much intrigued (and thoroughly bored sitting in hot car waiting for son to finish up!)

well he needs his mum’s help you say!

i asked how she got the 7 orders. That was my question.

OP sensibly didn't reply. Since your track record has been to jump on in order to be negative.

See the first post on this thread.

ask your son about snap chat

Nope wouldn't pay for it

i’ll show him the pic and said

“likelihood of 7 teens all commissioning work within the space of a few hours?”

and see what he says

Stealth boast thread

agree

probably was sensible not to say how 7 orders were secured in a few hours from the Op garnering a thread garnering views about the paintin

an unusual take on the thread it has to be said

likelihood of 7 teens all commissioning work within the space of a few hours?”

Wrong question.

If your friends owned horses or rode, how many of them could you reach with this picture in a few hours?

Bingo. Conspiracy Theory.

" intrigued " 😄

You've been " against " since your first question.

What has annoyed you so much?

If I sent out a group whatsapp to my family and friends saying 'minordrama wants to practice art and get some pocket money by drawing your pets for £15' Id easily get 7 commissions. Its not that unbelieveable surely! It probably wont break the bank amongst a horsey crowd, they would be helping out a teenager and getting a nice hand painted portrait of their pet in return.

against what?

my first post i said she obviously had taken and skill but i wouldn’t buy

what word would you like me to use?

Doubtful?

ok, sure. Doubtful

but i have to say… a generous dose of intrigued too!
