The Fifteenth Century Bookshop, Lewes by LYNDSEY SMITH

Love your paintings,I have walked past this shop so many times on my way to school many years ago!!!! :)

Love your work. So clean and fresh. The detailing must take hours?? While you must get enormous satisfaction from such talent, I do hope you are reaping the (financial) rewards for your work. These must sell like hot cakes!

Thank you! It does take a long time!!! I always seem to have my nose in a painting and they do sell...but I wont get rich!!

I am familiar with this building in our county town of Lewes and you portray it with great style and colour . I have also admired the rest of your gallery and love the way that some of the items or people go into the outside border. Fantastic ! !

I suggest you you approach someone like Ikea, or John Lewis. There was an article some months ago in LP, where an artist did just that and they commissioned her work. So why not you?

It would be hard to choose the right image - the right place - something that would appeal to people wherever they lived! The Royal Pavilion Shop will have some of my cards when they are printed though... that is exciting!

It's not the "location" that matters. These pictures could be of anywhere. I don't know these places, but I'm still love the pictures. The skill and humour, coupled with bright fresh colours, make these pictures universally attractive. They are quintisentially "English" (even if I can't spell it!). As relevent in Blackpool as they would be in Bournmouth. They have a much wider appeal than you think. The only way to find out is to try it. So - congrats on the Royal Pavilion, a great starting point. But if you're having cards printed anyway - you could simply mail samples to a few major outlets around the coast of England (google would help with addresses) with a covering letter, price list etc. Be selective - go upmarket and you command a more "exclusive" price. And yes - large prints to Ikea - why not? You have the talent, and you have great products. The trick is to make them work for you. (now guess who worked in marketing?) Good luck, and I'll stop bothering you now!

You can bother me as much as you like! haha, I need people like you to give me the confidence and ideas, thank you!

doh - I gave you the USA web address - heres the uk address http://www.zazzle.co.uk/

Thought you might be interested in this. http://www.britishnaives.co.uk/ Your style is a bit more accomplished (whatever that might mean), but in a similar vein.
