It sounds like you had a nice time. I always enjoy meeting other artists too. The cow piece is beautiful! :)

Rita, thanks – assurance about it getting easier makes me happy. It is definitely getting less “OMG” and more entertaining. Let’s hear some of your stories!

Casey, it isn’t too shabby. I was happy I sold SOMEthing. :D And I wish I could be out there too. I miss WA.

Lisa, thanks! It was fun, but it was also depressing… because it wasn’t on the beach. ;)

The cow is wonderful. I love the early morning light effect.

Sounds like it was a fun weekend. I wouldn’t mind living on a boat… anchored in Tahiti.

One original at a non-art oriented show is something to crow about!

I wish you lived out here and could do the Leavenworth show every weekend in the summer. You’d be in the “boot camp” of art fairs.

BTW, I love the cow.

Good job Meg, and thanks for the report. That cow piece is fantastic, I love the lighting and colours in it, I can see why it sold!
I know what you mean about the small talk/ chit chat thing but don’t worry, it gets easier the more shows you do. That, and the more shows you do the more… *ahem*… “interesting” people you meet, it’s great for telling stories to other people afterwards! :D
