Quite a good write up. Now I suppose I had better get some more work done to put in the RAG. RAG is the The Ramshackle Art Gallery not what I call the local paper. That would be rude.
Now please don't worry, fame will not change me and I will still talk to you. Please make an appointment first though. I am going to be a busy man. I shall try and find room in my busy schedule to say hallo.
Autographed copies of this article are available at the very reasonable price of £50.00. Please add another £20.00 to cover post and packing. Available for a limited time only. So hurry up please!
Congratulations John, a good write up. Don't you just love this life we're living? Well done mate.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you have an online gallery on your blog, John? I would love to see your paintings Any smallholding scenes or old farm machinery?
ReplyDeleteWorldwide interest? Hey, that's us!!!

Yes, an online gallery would be fun to see. Congratulations on the article. Carry on!
ReplyDeleteWorld Famous for sure. That online gallery could make you even more famous. It is a great article.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I suppose greater respect is due... By the way, listen to what you are being told about putting up an online gallery--even if only through Etsy. For I would love to include your works in the next Thinking of Christmas Gifts in July series and all to come afterward for as long as you remain open for business.
ReplyDeleteHeartiest congratulations John! It was about time your paintings were in the papers and for the world to see! I agree with everyone, you should put up an online gallery.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes. I just knew one day I'd know someone famous. And world famous, as well. Wow, I can really brag now, I foresee a queue of people waiting to view your art. Have you a hat I can borrow for the collection... Seriously, congratulations, you deserve recognition.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's a great article and your success is an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteDelightful views of your work on the gallery. Phil Hewitt wrote an excellent and complimentary article. And despite closeness of the Rapid Solicitors advert, photos show your gallery's charm is no accident.
ReplyDeleteIt was a long wait but definitely worth it. I had thought that you just did not want to share it with us. It was well-written and captured your character well. I hoped to see a bit more art. You have shared a lot of it with us but a bit more would have been lovely. By the way I miss your RAG site even though you posted a few and then lost the muse.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're going to have to do a lot more painting. Good article.
ReplyDeleteWorldwide acclaim....that means me here all the way in Barbados.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness your friend contacted you about the printed article. I thought the paper would have forwarded a copy to your email address at the very least.
It feels so good to finally know someone famous...thanks John.
The online gallery sounds like a good idea.
I'm making my appointment now to keep on listening while you talk to us every day.
You look quite debonair in that photo by the way.
I'll have to pass on the autograph, though I'm sure I'll be kicking myself later when you're even more world-famous and anything with your signature on it becomes a valuable collector's item.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congratulations on the recognition; it's well deserved.
How exciting John, I'm so happy for you. Does the paper have an online edition so I can read it better?
ReplyDeleteThere is an online edition kden, but I haven't found this article in it. The paper is Bognor Regis Observer.
DeleteI've just done a search on their web site and I can't find anything :o(
DeleteThis is awesome, John. Congrats to you and what a wonderful article. I had no idea I was blogging with such a celebrity and I am glad the fame will not go to your head. Your success is well-deserved and I am very happy for you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and so glad it's not going to your head. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd they say: "you shouldn't believe what you read in the papers", just ask Prince Harry!
ReplyDeleteNice one John, I too am glad you wont let this go to your head though it must be hard when you are so good at everything. Sorry I cant take up your generous offer of a signed copy. My electric meter is eating all my money. Hope you are keeping warm and that you got the fire problem sorted. How is Granny doing now?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I can now say I knew you when :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats I would love a copy but if you get my cheque John I would not try to cash it if I were you., never trust banks:)
ReplyDeleteSeriously John good job. B
