It's over and I'm glad. The art fair is what I'm talking about. Lots of time, energy and focus devoted to doing something I always wanted to do with little to show for it but a wealth of hard gained knowledge and lots of respect for those that make this a way of life.
The good news is that once you've made the preparations, invested in items needed etc., you can refine them for next time and it will be so much easier.
There were many high moments. Unlike exhibits there was much time for feed back and conversations with art lovers. I could observe other painters and people's responses to their art. I got a feel for what was most appreciated about my work. A direction , if you will.
I was amazed at how generous the other participants were. They were kind and generous, my fears were put aside. I really did not know what reaction I would get as a newbe. There were many newbes at this fair, we connected and shared our thoughts. It was really a day that opened my mind.
Oh, and I forgot to mention (as any one coming from the racetrack will tell you) "I broke even". Even had a few extra dollars in my pocket at the end of the day.
