...and hither is his comment
Hi Katherine,
This is a construct novel venture, in addition to I receive got to tell it looks similar a huge task for everyone involved. H5N1 modest issue of galleries receive got been asked to provide artwork for sale through the Amazon website. Each gallery patently decides which artists they would similar to represent. Each creative someone puts forrad operate which is available in addition to tin hold upwardly seat aside indefinitely incase of sales. I was kindly asked past times Thompson's Galleries to accept part, which I was thrilled about. You therefore receive got to provide quite a lot of data pertaining to each operate along amongst skillful images. There are images of the painting, the frame in addition to a item of your signature.- each gallery must patently collate all that information for each slice in addition to provide that to Amazon. The Thompson's Gallery therefore collected the operate to construct certain it could hold upwardly shipped immediately. All inwards all the gallery has to accept responsibleness for making certain everything is professional person equally it volition reverberate badly on Amazon. I tin come across why they went downward this road rather than contacting artists individually. They are dealing amongst less people in addition to every creative someone has their ain thought of how job organisation should hold upwardly conducted- in addition to perhaps it doesn't align amongst Amazons approach. Time volition tell how successful this volition be, only I'm willing to hand it a try.
Angus
