The First Post

This is my first post on this blog. My wife and I own a gallery and framing shop in Preston Lancashire, and have doen so since 1988. If all goes well, I shall post as regularly as I can commecting on how we see the commercial art world. There are loads of blogs from the high end art world - you know the sort cut your pet in half, stick it in an untidy bedroom and call it art, and then sneer at the popular art world - the type most people buy to enhance their homes.

We sell mainly limited editions by artists such as Doug Hyde, Mackenzie Thorpe, Duncan Macgregor and Jack Vettriano - all popular artists. We frame everything in our on site workshop and offer an exemplary custtomer service.

Well thats the ad out of the way. As I type this out in between customers, it is likely to contain spelling and grammatical errors - but that is part of blogging I suppose. I will aim to post a few photos a swell once I get the hang of the software.

Right, have to go now as I am out at a Sportsmans Dinner tonight, so may be a bit delicate tomorrow!
