It is so dreary and rainy today. I am thankful for the rain, for the flowers sake, but I would so love to get out and enjoy the spring warmth! It's supposed to get into the 70's tomorrow, so I'm hoping that the rain will hold off for a couple hours so we can play!
Here is a peek at what is on my work table this week. I'm not sure how much more I will do with her before she is deemed "finished".
I am really liking the idea of painting with just 3 or 4 colors on the palette. In this case I used burnt umber, vermilion, sap green, and lamp black. Then I just mixed colors and tones within that scope. It's very freeing!! The original drawing is outlined with a super fine sepia pitt pen.
I am sorry that I have taken so long to update you all about the fair. The Big Thaw was so much fun! I sold a rather large painting within 5 minutes of opening, we were actually still setting up when the woman came to look at it. We had a couple of issues with our setup in the beginning, but we got it worked out =). The foot traffic was quite steady for the whole day, and we made a few decent sales, and lots of new connections. We have another art show or two in the works for this spring/summer. I will give more details once we know more.
The hat displays are going to be a great way for me to display my hats up off of the table, so that they can be seen from across the room. They are all different heights, which makes it easier to group them together, or separately.
