Sturt Desert Peas “LIFE” sold


Dated: 28 September 2018

So I am sitting with Bernie and Pontip (RFDS nurse) and a couple of others in the Roadhouse in Marree this morning having a chat and a coffee and in walks a gentleman on a mission. He was asking about purchasing my large framed print called LIFE which was hanging on the wall in the dining area pictured here. Within 2 minutes it was sold and paid for. Well thats the quickest sale I have ever had I think of such a large and expensive piece.
Beautifully printed on metallic pearl paper and double matted and framed by Blackman Gallery.
He took it with him so we needed to get it sorted so it was safe for travelling, It was a joint effort as you can see by the pictures here but in no time it was ready to pop in the car. Spose I wiwll have to get another one done now.
Just a shout out to the group he was travelling with across the outback as they were involved in a charity to raise money for pancreatic cancer.
If you want to see more shots of these flowers I have a gallery dedicated to them under my South Australia Gallery called Sturt Desert Peas.
