We spent the weekend at the 10th annual Lakeview East Festival of the Arts – thank you so very much to everyone who came to the fair, to those who gave my art a new home and to those who sent an encouraging note from afar. It is so appreciated. My heart is full and I am so grateful for all my friends, family, followers and supporters!
If you’re reading this after seeing my booth at the fest, hello I’m so happy you’re here! Please feel free to order from my Etsy shop, and I’m also available for custom paintings or local pick up so just shoot me an email or comment below if you’re interested.I did over 55 transactions throughout the weekend. Over half of my paintings were purchased including my second largest piece to date a 36×36 three panel abstract painting named Blues Fest. It was great to see all the Love You So and Be Sharp paintings go so quickly on Saturday. I am also happy to report that my new favorite and most recent painting Mountains sold on Sunday. Other items that were a big hit were the 12×24 city paintings – I had Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC.
It was really nice to have so many friends and family visit and keep me company. I especially want to thank everyone who pitched in to help this weekend. These fairs are definitely a team effort! Sunday night we broke down my booth, packed up and went out for a celebratory dinner. I was exhausted, but so happy!
Art festival season is over now until next spring when we will do it all over again. Art fairs take up a lot of time, money and effort but I really think it’s worth it to take advantage of the opportunity to get out there and show my art. I am still recovering from the long weekend but I’m slowly starting to clean up, get organized and take photos of my new pieces. There will be a big shop update soon and more to come in a few weeks on the ARTober custom artwork sale.
