Orillia - Mariposa

I spent the weekend at another one of my annual shows. I was a bit worried this year, because they changed my location to one in the back row. But all turned out well. People still looked for me and found me. I sold 4 original abstracts at the show. Two were the new style with the trees. I'm very excited about this. I have been making pencil sketches for more tree paintings. Though, I think I might change the palette up a bit. I'm glad things went well, this is one of my favorite shows. The music is always good.

Hamilton- It's Your Festival

Had an o.k. weekend at the Hamilton It's Your Festival. The concerts were really good. The weather was hot, but I had electrical hook-up so I could run the A.C. in the trailer. They also allow water hook-up. Sales were a bit down. They had a local frame shop selling, cheap framed posters of top selling artists. Some of them didn't even have glass. People are just so ignorant about quality framing. It was hard, especially because they were right beside me and kept trying to stand in front of my pictures. Really rude. I was a couple hundred down in sales because of it. I'm not sure if I will return next year. But it's hard to give up going back to our home town and visiting family and friends. Oh well! I guess I'll see how the rest of the year goes.
