Pat 78 makes first sale

78 year old Pat Jones found out about The Art Yard (TAY) when visiting Ivan's Fish & Chip shop on Reddal Hill Road, Cradley Heath.

Pat has always enjoyed painting art at home as a hobby and never thought her paintings would be a commercial success. She popped into TAY with her husband Tom for a look around and asked the gallery team for an opinion on her work. The result was that Pat was encouraged to enter 2 of her oil paintings into the winter 2017 exhibition. Pat's painting of 'meadow landscape' was sold immediately, and before the opening event evening got underway, to a local solicitor who had visited TAY during the setting up of the winter exhibition.

Pat is overjoyed with securing her first sale and now plans to become a regular exhibitor at TAY.
