Am just winding down from the Whatcom Art Guild Art by the Lake Show that was part of the Ski to Sea weekend in Bellingham. It was a good weekend over all. First, I was awarded a first and a second [shown below], and, I sold three paintings. Woo hoo!
For the first time, I had a half booth, which worked out to be just the right size. I am getting a bit long in the tooth to commit to a full booth, in terms of staffing and in terms of building a larger booth by myself. The thing I knew even before doing this half booth was that I don't ever think I will be doing another booth outside again, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where the weather can ruin your day!
In any case, the booth was good and I enjoyed myself. I was pleasantly surprised that I ran out of business cards, because people were interested in taking classes from me. Neat! Now if they all follow up!
Anyway, with a good booth experience, and sales to boot, the awards were icing on the cake!
