I received many kind comments on my paintings on display…but it appears that people liked the birches the best.  I usually use a photo or two that I have taken as a starting point for my landscapes,  but this one was strictly from my imagination…..I wonder what that means…..

Saturday was a good day for sitting and talking with fellow artists, but Mother’s Day came roaring in with cold winds and dark clouds.  The sun eventually broke through and the booths and rides in the center of the park were fairly comfortable.  Unfortunately, the Artists Guild Booths were on the westernmost outside edge and we wore layers and layers even in the sunshine.  I’m afraid that a two day show that requires you to breakdown  in the evening and set up again the next day, requires just a little more energy than I have to spare, but it was fun to relive the street fairs I joined in the early 70s and I’m truly glad I joined the group.  The economy certainly affected sales, even of the smaller craft items that usually do well.   But, my main reason for being there was just to be able to display a larger number of paintings than I can usually afford to enter into art shows.  So, mission accomplished.  The photos aren’t the greatest, but the following may give you an idea of what it was like.
The last photo shows a 3 dimentional logo that Chick made from carved letters:

    Thanks for sending. I think that Chick’s carving is great. I feel like a do-do, but what does cMd stand for? Should I know? I’m tired tonight and the brain went to bed early.

    I really enjoyed seeing the photos of the event. I loved that little card holder. But was most enjoyable was thinking of you DOING this, when a year ago I don’t think you could have imagined doing so. You are pretty awesome!

    Thanks, both of you. It was a BIG effort you’re right Thom. We have a spring show this month (by we, I mean the Lakewood Artitsts Guild. I’ll be entering some work there as well. Definitely the birches. It will be juried, so it will be interesting to see how I do there. I’m thinking of getting something new done for it, but right now I have to say I’m still pooped!
