In the midst of the stuff around here with Mr. Resistance I had the pleasure of participating in another shopping event. While “he” and I struggle with our competing thoughts about the hows and whys of art, it ended up that I would be the only artist vendor among jewelry, make-up, accessories people if I decided to attend.
I’ve shown at this event in the past, and it’s a lovely restaurant with great shelving for art display. As before, I set up my watercolor paintings on the shelving and my hand knit accessories at the tables below.
It’s good practice to show artwork at these shopping events because you just never know who might be interested. There’s a lot of great feedback, shoppers were really impressed and asked great questions about my work. Meeting different people, talking about my process and exposing people to art is always a nice experience.
Also great was that I sold a few knit pieces and the restaurant owner bought this watercolor painting of sunflowers.
The fun part was that each of us was so excited, she to have purchased art she loved, and for me to sell a painting I loved. It’s nice to know it will be going to a new home.
Thrilling, actually.
Beautiful, Dora & congrats on the sale!
Thank you, Sue!
