What a wonderful 24 hours I’m having.  Just in case you do not know, my Norwich City painting was featured in Norwich’s ‘Evening News’ and on its web edition too. The article also appeared on the ‘Pink Un’ website, one of the big hitting NCFC websites.  Tomorrow it is due to be featured in the ‘Eastern Daily Press’ (Friday Nov 5th).

To date I have received more emails, inquiries, general interest and (happily) sales, from this one article than any other form of the marketing mix I’ve tried.  I can but hope when it appears in the EDP tomorrow this flurry of activity continues as I like this busy thing!

On Twitter I have had more ReTweets than I could ever shake a stick at including, I might add, a personal tweet from NCFC legend Iwan Roberts *sigh* wishing me luck with everything.  The same spirit of bonhomie continues with Facebook where I’ve had some lovely messages.

Bottom line is one really cannot underestimate the power of local media: it still packs a punch and it’s good to know that’s still the case.

Very quickly I wanted to say a big thanks to Kimberley Briscoe for her article and to the Evening News, EDP and Pink Un for publishing her splendid words.

Finally, and most importantly, I just wanted to say a big thank you to all those that have invested their hard earned money in my work.  I really am so very grateful and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed painting them.

I don’t know, one feature in the press and I’ve taken on the air of an Oscar acceptance speech winner.  It won’t last, I ‘m sure.
