In addition, thank you to Katherine Tyrell for the link she provided-very good stuff.

Burnell: Too bad that GYST doesn't offer trial version. I hope they have lots of screen captures on there. Maybe Google "GYST reviews" and see if you find out anything.

I currently have 68 paintings out there in various galleries and I'd hate to loose track of what was where. I also like to track where my paintings have been, so I can show something fresh at a particular venue, instead of binging the same work back again and again.

Unfortunately, they don't provide a demo version, so you have to take the leap and purchase the full product before you can really explore it. If I do that, I'll post a review.

I have been through trials of many of the available software options and find them mostly a little too ugly. (Flick looks pretty nice but is missing some features I want). I am currently designing my own software in Filemaker. It incorporates many of the features listed above as well as a way of keeping track of what it costs to produce each piece. Very helpful topic!
