This Spring has been a bit like a see-saw. One great show, (Gasparilla, Artisphere) and some that aren’t really bad just not as good. Summerfair in Cincinnati last week was one of the meh shows. The weather was so hot that the attendance was low and that hurt most of us. Plus, I have just got to vent a bit on shows that are open until 7pm or later. What exactly is the freaking point? It’s torture for us artists-no buyers around past 5 leaves us to just sit and watch the clock. Anyway, drove home on Sunday night and got immediately to work checking my smalls and mid size paintings and doing 4 more paintings for the next weekends show. Let me tell you why I love Old Town so much. 1. It’s really well organized and easy to set up. 2. I’m right next to Lisa Norris ( who gets in more years than I do), so it definitely will be fun and 3. And….most important-the people! It’s such an educated crowd that I end up having the best talks with people. It certainly is nice to be in the company where people actually know what the myths are. I know that sounds terribly eleteist- (I am not one)but what I do is appreciated by a thin slice of the pie of buyers out there who usually are as passionate as I am so it’s a real pleasure to be in their presence. So, if you are out and about this coming weekend…. I will be at 211 Wisconsin between 10 and 6 on This coming Saturday and Sunday and I hope to see you there. (…if the fates allow).
