I thought that I had posted this three weeks ago but now remember that I went looking for images to use and never came back. I am now using images of some of the paintings that sold during the weekend.When I was invited by Angela and Fred of Dragonfly Designs to be a guest in their studio for the Beyond the Valley Studio Tour I jumped at the chance. This tour has eight studios with 16 very accomplished artists and artisans so I was excited. I have been involved with many shows so how hard could it be.
There were some tense moments but it all turned out to be relatively easy and sales were extremely good. I had a couple of credit card glitches. A couple of people got a deal because I forgot to charge for the frames and I told a few people that I would get their email address from the receipt and add them to my newsletter. Sadly the credit card processing company will not give me any information at all about purchasers (which is mostly good) including their names and email addresses (which is not so good).
I will be eternally grateful to Angela and Fred for inviting me but also to Shelley Prior of Shelley Prior Fine Art for lending me her racks. Most of all I would like to thank all the wonderful people who came by to look at, chat about or buy my art. You all helped make the weekend a spectacular success in my mind.
I was also having so much fun that I didn't think to take any photos of my setup so if anyone has any I would love copies.
