Silver Lining 3



I saw another amazing silver lining cloud. This will make the third in my portfolio. I was leaving my allergist's office on Wednesday evening and was driving through the parking lot. I saw this and parked the car again and got out with my camera. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Chadds Ford Days Wrap-Up


Well, after being rained out on Saturday (thanks to Tropical Depression Hanna), we finally made it out to the show on Sunday. It was a seriously cool, but humbling experience. It was a beautiful day. We had a great spot, my setup looked great as you can see in the attached pics.

The humbling part was to be in the presence of so many highly talented artists. There were all types and sizes and styles. It was an impressive display of talent. In a way, I think it was artistic overload. There was so much to see and take in, that I don't know how any one patron could focus on any one artist. Only a few artists seemed to be selling alot of work. I didn't sell barely anything. I sold 1 4x6 print, and 1 5x7 print for a whopping $20. Thankfully I wasn't really there for the profit. I didn't win any of the awards, either. The folks that won were very deserving. Their work was amazing.

But I take solace in the fact that I was there. I showed at Chadds Ford. I got to sit there in my booth all day long and talk to strangers about my art. I got to listen to live music and enjoy the sunshine all day long. I got to meet new people. I got to hand out dozens of business cards. I was there. It really was a great day. I can't wait to go again next year!

Getting Ready

I haven't posted in a long time, so I'm here now to rectify that mistake.  Tonight is the night before the night before my big break. On Saturday, I'm competing in the Chadds Ford Days Art Show, and I couldn't be more excited. I'll post some things from the show and, of course, some pictures of the goings-on down there. Stay tuned!
